I was contemplating the essential knowledge required for a successful career, and I came to the realization that there are numerous aspects that managers and HR representatives may overlook or misunderstand.
I may not be an expert in everything, but I’m confident that I can solve any problem I encounter in the most effective manner. I have the ability to test, check, try again, debug, and continue to improve my approach until I find the best solution.
If you’re unaware, acquiring knowledge takes time. You won’t learn through a mere one-minute video from social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.
The image 1.1 below provides a glimpse into the various responsibilities and tasks that developers and software engineers may encounter in their roles.
