Hello everyone!
Im currently 24 years old and getting started as an employed business consultant in a local small company soon. I want to learn first from a seasoned mentor before I get started on my own and want to improve crucial skills in my free-time. I study in a business administration part-time program in Frankfurt (yes I German) and I want to either improve my communication and negotiation skills or get started in coding. My question is this: Which skill is more valuable in a consulting and finances environment (I started out as a banker and turn to consulting now): Coding or negotiation and people-skills? If coding, what should I learn first? I always fell asleep in school-days as we learned basic HTML because our teacher was as exciting as watching paint dry...
Im definitely dedicated to put in the hours, I would set aside about 6-8 hours per week for learning this specific skill since I work full-time in consulting and do my besides-job degree or however that stuff is called in proper language.
Thanks in advance everyone! I appreciate any kind of help and please call me out if you think I am a slowlaner!
P.S: Excuse broken englisch if I did some typos, had my last proper englisch-lesson 6 years ago so please have mercy
