I’m navigating a career decision and would value your input. I have two offers:
1. Developer: Hands-on coding at a 35-person startup, where I’d manage all development with one contractor. Compensation is $40K less than the other role.
2. Solution Architect: Leadership-focused at a 300-person company, overseeing strategy and teams, no coding involved.

I’m leaning toward the architect role but want to ensure I’m considering growth, stability, and satisfaction. Your advice would mean a lot!

Hello, I wanted to mention that I work as a sports commentator, specifically about soccer. I used to be one of the main journalists for Spanish media, but since I moved to Miami I feel the general passion for soccer is very different 🥲 The energy and commitment are not even close to what I felt in Spain, where some businesses would close if the match was too important. I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.
