Focus on your communication skills. I've worked at three start ups in the states and I can tell you that those who get promotions or more salary almost always are good communicators. Not always is it your hard skills that advance your career

I hear that advice a lot. Seems to be consistent with what I see happening around me.

What kind of skills in particular would you recommend to work on and how does one go about improving said skills ?

In would recommend two things 1) learn to negotiate 2) take an improv acting class. These classes help you learn to connect with others and read them better
