Ask HN: What skills are invaluable to you for your career?

1 pointsby cauliflower99about 4 years ago
Let me kick it off with some skills of my own which have enabled numerous promotions and opportunities.<p>Linux Admin - The benefits of learning command line basics in a linux system and finding my way around the infrastructure quickly has helped me become one of the most productive people on my team.<p>Powerpoint - Knowing what to put in&#x2F;not put into a presentation to my peers has promoted me twice in the last 3 years.<p>Python - The language I have most used and debugged in all my roles (automation).<p>People management - Becoming a team lead was a hardcore version of &quot;How to make friends and influence people&quot;.<p>Writing - I started a blog 2 years ago and have been writing on and off. It has impacted all other parts of my work. Anyone that wants to improve their skills overall should start writing.<p>Things I want to learn in the near future:<p>- Business management (I&#x27;m trying to kick off a particular side hustle).<p>- Advanced SQL (Most recommended programming skills I have heard of).<p>- Remixing shanty songs (Add a beat to any shanty for a guaranteed banger!!! :) )<p>Those are my two cents! What kind of skills do you know that have been invaluable to you?
