Software Engineering Career Paths
Maybe you’re in the middle of your bootcamp
Or maybe you’re a few years into your career
Or maybe you’ve hit some pinnacle of success and realized…
I don’t like coding as much as I thought I would
And now, with so much time and energy invested into this path, you feel stuck 😰
What Do You Do Now?
Fortunately there is more to Software Development than just coding, and there are many roles that feed into the process of a successful team. The key is to identify what you enjoyed for your coding or education journey and finding the roles that allow you to do more of that
For example:
A Scrum Master or Project Manager — if you enjoy
- Planning & organizing your work
- Mentoring junior developers
- Resolving conflict
These individuals partner with teams and handle most of the external communication aspects of the team (tracking deliverables, communicating blockers, escalating issues, etc.)
A Designer or Product Owner — if you enjoy
- Being the “decision maker”
- Designing beautiful things
- Talking to customers
