What firms allow you to be a hands on developer? I know Accenture has roles of such nature - but curious about others in case I want to leave. My fear is going to a firm where a lot of the work is done offshore and I end up being more of a “business analyst / solutions architect”.

Look into Slalom consulting (specifically slalom build - basically on shore dev.).

Would avoid the huge ones and look into more of the boutiques. The huge ones have those kind of roles as well but they also have 10x of the other roles you're talking about that they could likely try to fill you in.

Move to federal… requirements for development to be 100% onshore.

like

Can confirm. We’re a federal contractor and all our devs are onshore. We have plenty of roles people that want to continue to focus on development as they progress in their career.

I would avoid firms and focus more on companies that actually build products. Firms can often place a person in a staff aug role that you are looking to avoid. It’s more about billing than building. I have found opportunities to participate in hands on developer work to be scarce at these types of firms. There is one firm that you definitely want to avoid.

Maybe there is just one really bad firm that I hear about often and might have experience with. I agree on boutique firms.

Most of the back office and business support teams do hands of development. But they exactly are not very high growth teams and often considered as cost center.

I worked at Deloitte and Accenture and had hands on Dev work at both. However, you need to be somewhat lucky, pushy, and also skilled to be put on such projects.
