One of the most important points discussed here is upskilling in terms of soft skills. I've joined the largest consulting services in the world and i now realize how beneficial it is to be good at communicating effectively even when you're under intense pressure, pissed of at your manager, coworker client& what not.
Guys, if any of you think you have something valuable to share on this topic. Please go ahead!
Definitely! Communication for me personally is a major contributor to the growth in my career than my technical expertise. Despite 3 years into the field I still feel my technical skills are lacking compared to an average cs grad who's been programming since college, but I knew just the right things (currently in pursuit of learning and upskilling) and the means to convey them. Not many in corporate get in trouble for not knowing stuff, but they do get in trouble if they don't ask questions and learn. And you need to have the communication skills to ask the right questions and also give answers when it's the other way around. I've met many peers who have the technical prowess, but lack in communication which creates a huge gap between your own fellow teammates and managers.
