Thank you everyone for sharing your response. Glad to hear everyone agrees with my original post. Adding to that, I will definitely agree with jnm22 that both are essential and that interpersonal skills do tend to weigh more regardless of your technical knowledge of the product. Because many people like Bill Gates are the most successful people in the world and their educational background is only high school. Yes he dropped from harvard and getting into harvard isn’t easy. But I truly believe he became the most successful in his field because of his interpersonal skills. People listen to him and respect him regardless of his educational background. While some people are very smart but fail to succeed because they are not able to connect with the people around them or in a another field.
