For a tester foremost quality needed is that of clear & effective communication to every strata of the organization. I would say in each job we get to learn & hone this quality better & better.

Challenge which every tester faces some or the other time is that - the bug which he/she has found is not reproducible in the production environment & then it's a hard task to convince the development team. My suggestion is - (1) check the configuration of testing env & development environment. both should be replica of each other. (2) take snap shot of each step. (3) write down in detail all steps.

Another challenge is that of MINIMAL supervision. Tester has been told to do as he /she wishes fit & not many valid documents are given to him/her. At the end of the day it's your responsibility to generate work for yourself as well as learn the application as fast as you can & be productive at the end of the day.
