>Learned as junior: Technical skills matter most.

>Understood as senior: Communication skills matter most.

I see this often, but it needs to be said with a caveat - the second line presupposes the first. Without the first, the second doesn't really matter (or it does but you're in the wrong career).




Actually it is very disfuncional for me to be in a company that communication skills are ahead of technical.
