Hello All,
I’m an experienced enterprise software architect, currently working in the Pacific Northwest. For more than a year now, I have been considering a transition into a leadership position, but I am not sure which kind of position is rightfor me.
I really enjoy using new technology tempered by good software design to build great systems. While I really enjoy building things, I am also discovering that software development is fundamentally a social activity, involving the participation of many different personalities. I consider myself to be a fairly good communicator, but realize that there is always room for improvement.
Is there some CxO position that I should be targeting specifically? Should I be focusing on building my own consultancy? Should I stick with the company at which I currently work? Should I find a small or a large company to begin my leadership transition?
Your comments and opinions are welcome.
Thanks,
Matthew
