If your goal is to become CEO of a company that would be large enough to require an engineer to quit coding, it's a fairly universal truth that you will no longer be doing what you did at the beginning of your career. It's not simply that you no longer code - if you come from banking, you stop doing that. If you come from accounting/finance, you are no longer spending all day in Excel. If you come from sales, you may do a bit of it, I guess, but you are no longer regularly jumping on the phone with customers. If you come from marketing, again, you may do a bit, but you are definitely not spending time in AdWords or developing marketing campaigns. Is there any job that this truth wouldn't apply to? Being a CEO is a full time job that has it's own requirements. It's not simply a title that you slap on a normal job.
