Strategic Banking IT advisor in Bankinga year ago

I would tell that person to be curious, open-minded and to learn about the business sector operations. Successful IT workers know their business, its objectives and its challenges. A language or a framework is not the most important quality or ability to develop.

Curiosity will allow you to learn new things, which is probably a very crucial capability these days!

Last but not least: enjoy working with others to share ideas, solve problems or go the extra mile for the organization.
