I totally agree with what Alex mentioned. Besides the effective communication aspect, you need to learn how to write tech plan better and clearer:
- There are more stakeholders in FAANG companies, writing anything in a clear and well structured manner will deliver better to a wide audience.
- Be concise and have more data points.
- Use less passive voice and weasel words

Just add other softwares I used to keep notes and build a second brain:
- Org Roam: a plugin in emacs that organize notes in org format
- Anytype: https://anytype.io a simplified replacement for Notion with local first features.

Communication

Communication is both simultaneously the most important and most underrated skill among software engineers. Understanding people (and getting them to understand you) is far more impactful towards your career growth than understanding code.
