I'm current an SDE with 19yoe. While I do like it, it's not where my best strengths lie. Are there adjacent roles where technical knowledge is useful, but my strengths in understanding the big picture and communication could be better utilized?

Anecdotally, the most I've enjoyed my work was leading feedback sessions with an advisory panel.

I gathered SME's, current customers, potential customers in a room - ask about current state of our product and potential future states. Cherry picked a couple of points that were made and asked them to draw pictures that describe what that actually looked like. Posted those up around the room, discussed with everyone, and had them mark up the ideas for thing they liked. I then took all that, make a few clickable wireframes. Offered these up for comments and used that to define epics for features to our product.

Yes there's some overlap. I think of AWS work as more devops and infra work than development. The architect route there would take you to cloud architect or solutions architect.

As opposed to a software architect on the dev side. Or data architect which is somewhere in between.

All interesting jobs with lots of overlap across the board.
