Developer to Architect Role

Dear 😊
Currently I m having 8+ years of experience as full stack developer and now need to move in the architecture area 🏗️
Can some one help me to get the idea how to move form developer to architecture 💡

Transition from developer to 🏛️ architecture 👨‍💻

Software Engineer

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Guys with 15+ years of experience working as developer, do we really have a future with companies looking to replace you with younger generation.
One layoff and I know it will really hard task to find a new job.

I have already started thinking of alternative path.
What are you thinking.

Developers with 15+ work experience

I am currently software architect with 14yrs exp with 12 yrs in the same org, but got to work on different products,stacks every 2-4 yrs. But not being doing much coding recently, and it's all simple Python anyway with a sprinkling of C++. I have started hands on learning of JS, Django, Kotlin to get a feel of new languages and frameworks.  Don't want to put entire resume here, but those are the key ones.

I enjoy my architecture and specifications role, but I think I might be missing lots of opportunities to learn different tech/stacks. Most importantly I feel up for a change after years of avoid risks to person commitments which are much changed now.

Coming to the point, what worries me most is that most JD in different tech/roles expect some prior experience/expertise which I don't have. Requesting comments/guidance on how to make this transition to new role/tech/org. If anyone has done similar experience, request to share approach.

I am apprehensive even of talking to my contacts for a referral as I'd like to try out and get some confidence first. I did a lot of transitions so far, but I wasn't deciding those. It was either customer/boss or chance. I am confident of learning anything, but not about impressing interviewers. Maybe a few interviews with Amazon and similar LEET based ones might be the cause of my low self confidence. I abhor those kind of questions unrelated to work and as a principle never ask them as an interviewer.

Software Architect

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Software architect, cloud architect, solution architect. How are these roles different in terms of seniority and pay gardes.

Does your company have roles centred around architecture

Cloud Architect

I am an Android developer with 3.6 years of experience. I got an offer from Cognizant, but this is for the Reverse Engineer role with Tech lead position. Is it a wise decision to join Cognizant?

Job and Role switch.

Software Developer

I have been working for the past 7+ years in multiple domains and multiple technologies. My growth seems to be tapered off in the last 1.5-2 years. I'm looking for a mentor who has some good experience and can help me grow to the next level. I can pay if they need that and I respect that if they provide a good value.
I have mentored multiple engineers over the past 7 years but they all have been juniors. I haven't been able to find people who are really good and have more experience than me.
People of Grapevine please do your magic. I would be really thankful if I could find someone good.

Looking for a mentor for a 7+ yrs experienced engineer

I'm currently a Senior SRE with experience in cloud, ops, infrastructure, databases, consulting, security, etc. Also skilled and interested in management (people and product), customer experience, etc.

My immediate manager has suggested an idea of me becoming an Engineering Manager in a Cloud product team. I'll approximately have 7 YoE by then.

Senior folks in Big Tech, do you think it's a good idea to switch from an IC to Leadership this early in career? What are the pros and cons?

Hi everyone,

**Looking for Career Advice: How to Make the Move from Harman Connected services to Harman International at My Current Company?**

I’m currently working at Harman in the Consultant unit (Harman Connected Service), where I’m placed at client locations for projects. However, I’m looking to switch to our Product-based unit (Harman International  - Automotive) for several reasons:

1. I have a strong interest in HMI/IoT-based projects.
2. I believe there’s more growth potential in the Product unit.
3. The Product unit offers more job stability compared to the Harman Connected Services unit, where project durations are fixed, and I need to secure new placements after each project ends.

I tried to connect with BU HR by looking at internal job opportunities but I hardly get responses from them.

YoE: 9
Platform: Mobile dev

Could anyone advise on the best approach to make this transition within the company? Any tips on how to navigate this switch smoothly and effectively would be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to your insights and suggestions!

Thanks!

Looking for Career Advice: Make move from Harman Connected to Harman International

I am working in a Pre Seed GenAI Startup (2020 Founded) as Head of Engineering (Team of 20 with 5-6 in Engineering, No CTO) 

It's been 3.5 years (3yrs Full Time + 6mon Internship) Previously it is in EdTech now in GenAI Space 

My CTC is 8 LPA + 0.45% ESOPs (10-12L in 25cr valuation). 
Skills: Nodejs, Nextjs, Monorepos, MongoDB, AWS, Serverless

1-2yrs ago we were thinking about scaling the tech team, etc but then that EdTech model started failing and then we went to a war time after that we pivoted currently also we are burning money revenue is there but very less (25% of the expense)

I was of the view that I want to lead teams and scale products That's why I was there in the team It can be the case tomorrow if we scale 

but Now I am confused whether I should switch my job and or stick with the startup maybe the startup grow tomorrow or a big VC fund us to scale (as I have ESOPs) or it will just be a waste of time or opportunity cost

Please guide 🙏 Anyone with a similar startup experience would really appreciate your help 🙏

Team Lead

Hey people,
   I am a software engineer. I am thinking of pivoting to leadership kind of roles like EIR, founders office, product manager, etc. 
   For people who are currently in such roles or know people in these roles, do you think people from tech(engineering) background, pivoting to this role at age of 24-25 yrs is advisable? Would people hiring for these roles see that I don't hold an MBA?
   What are the things about these roles I should be aware of?

Thinking of switching to non-tech(leadership) from tech

Engineering Manager route v/s Staff/ Principal Software Engineer

Interviewed with Agoda for Lead/Staff Full Stack role and cleared their coding, design, architecture and a special round called coding+architecture. The interview went well as per my assesment. But finally a rejection mail saying they moved with other candidates. They even asked about the ECTC (before coding +architecture round) and also asked details about relocation to Bangkok assuring that I have almost cleared interview for Staff role and final round ie was coding + architecture was meant for deciding  b/w lead and staff role. What could be reason behind this. Preferably would like to hear from someone who had similar experience with Agoda.
