Looking for general career guidance. What are some typical industry exits for Senior developers? TA's? Enterprise architect? I'm currently at senior dev in a consultancy.



Thinking about what I should aim for long term. I.E, is staying at my consultancy till I reach EA the best move, or should i get experience as a TA, then exit to a "systems applications manager" moving up to CIO/VP technology etc. Or perhaps I'm misguided.

Appreciate the help.

Same boat friend.

Have you thought of pivoting to solutions architect for cloud platforms in general? Maybe data analytics?

I have thought about the cloud route, but I'm totally uninformed. Would I have to specialize in sat, AWS or Azure as deeply as I do in SF?

I'm also uninformed on data analytics
