I would add that good writing is required for all career advancement.
Senior engineers or architects may do more design than coding and the design needs to be conveyed likely as writing and hopefully a couple diagrams.
Managers absolutely need to be good writers to communicate effectively, advocate for their team, and tell the story of the team’s work.
If you’re an engineer and want to have a higher level job than you have now, getting better at writing is only going to help. I’m not saying it’s a MUST because I’m sure there’s some outliers, but it won’t hurt.
