There is more to tech than software development. I reached a point when I no longer wanted to program yet another application. So in succession I had roles as project manager, business analyst, network engineer, systems architect and adjunct lecturer in software engineering.
I still program home automation stuff and various utilities but strictly for my own use. That way I minimize feature creep, have no software support / maintenance obligations.
- 71a54xd 5y agoDo you have any guidance as to how to best make this transition? It also seems there are many better trajectories on the tech org side compared to just being purely technical.
- GianFabien 5y agoI never really planned my transitions. I'm an introvert so I mostly ask questions and let people talk. If something grabs my interest I offer to help and sometimes opportunities emerge. I'm not afraid of diving in and learning as I go. Have to admit I'm a fast learner and willing to do extra work just to get on top of the learning curve. I read a lot and maintain an interest in most things technical and related.
