Trying to figure out if my dream job really exists anywhere.
I am trying to move from pure coding to a job that combines coding with traveling and dealing directly with technical stakeholders. It seems in most companies the people who are responsible for the latter do very little, if any, of the former.
Figure I will put another 1-3 years trying to find this position at an existing company, and if that doesn't pan out, I'll just start my own company designed around letting me do exactly that. :)
- jaxn 16y agoI had that gig for a while. I was a consultant working on Business Intelligence and found a niche in automating rights management. After a couple of years the travel got old (and there were some not fun projects in there too).
- bengl3rt 16y agoYes, the verticals that are likely to feel like bankrolling all the traveling tend to be the larger corporate ones - the ones who are in the Business of Business, especially. Not saying there aren't fascinating problems to solve in there as well, but you're right, there can be a lot of churn...
