This question is close to impossible to answer as there is no context provided. Generally, you want to learn a skill that is close related to the industry you work in, or something you are interested in or passionate about.

Let's take everything out of consideration and just talk about a few skills in general. There are a 2 essential skillset that are important regardless of which industry you are in.

  1. Sales. You dont have to be a salesman to learn sales. Concepts and theories of sales can be applied in our daily life. Finding a job? You need to sell yourself to the HR. Chasing a girl? You need to sell yourself to the girl. Making new friends at work? You need to sell yourself to your colleagues for them to like you.

  2. Public speaking and communication skill. Well, I believe I dont have to explain much here. The ability to articulate your thoughts is so underrated. Even if you are a coder, you still need to communicate your ideas and thoughts to your colleagues to work on it together and to your managers to get approval.

I would like to pick up business management. Won't call it a skill but more of an experience, learn as you do, kind of thing. It will be helpful if you wish to start your own business. Myself, as a designer, we love design so much that we often overlook the business side. Hence, I believe this skill will be essential for me to grow as a designer who understand the business mindset and also how a company operates.
