No enterprise architecture is a whole different world. Few of those people have ever been developers. EA is about mapping business capabilities to tech capabilities, understating dependencies and impacts across the enterprise, etc. It’s not at all the same thing as system or application architecture but they do intersect.

Coming from a non code person who wants to dip their toes in, what is enterprise architecture vs. development. I was under the impression an architect was a developer

Never too lateeeeeee

If you want to move into enterprise architecture that would make sense. Not sure it is worth much if you say in development

Yes , that's where I want to head..in other words I do not want to get into sales/PMO etc work

Agreed - got mine and unless you want to do strategic IT transformation work and have to deal with director level execs with huge egos then stay away. The world is moving to agile like elaborative design and architecture so Better off getting PMI ACP/SAFe SA certified learning to build an architectural runway and collaborate with agile teams on a release train or program level

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!

What route would you guys take in my position?

Goal: Data Science/ML

1. UGA MSBA (likely free)
2. OMSCS/OMSA (possibly work FT aswell)
3. Work FT and find out what I really want to do

Context: Going into final year of MIS degree with CS minor at UGA. Really enjoying classes on hard skills, haven’t taken all the business side classes but so far not as interesting. Interning at KPMG for data analytics rn, haven’t gotten much useful experience. Family may have financial hardship soon.
