The modern tech workforce is becoming increasingly international. Companies now hire talent from across the world, giving candidates access to opportunities that might not have existed a decade ago. While technical skills remain important, I have found that communication, adaptability, and the ability to work with people who think differently are becoming just as valuable. Which skill has helped you most when working with people from different backgrounds in tech?
