I worked on a serious software development project in past several months and realized I don't really want to be a software engineer. Low exposure to business user/leadership and long hours of debugging/brainless coding. Especially the backend dev. People notice you only when your work is broken.

@OP Ah. I hear you. But I've said this before here and I'll say it again the grass is always greener. Other tech jobs also may very well involve 'debugging and building shitty code', 'wiping senior ppl ass', etc. But as long as you're already setting your eyes on opportunities that you may enjoy more - hopefully it'll land something great.

Secondly. You 'can' teach yourself some fundamentals of software. It could be web development, data analysis, etc. Also maybe request a more techie project

Exact same boat OP.
DD I've asked for tech roles but there is always someone on the bench with more legit development experience. So I get passed over and get slotted into another functional role for 8 months

Happy I was able to help @OP :)

What areas of tech and at what level?

I'm trying to go client strategy in tech

@D2 sorry I had missed your message. Being passed over by other tech folk on the bench does suck. But if you keep striving to be placed on a tech project as well as hone your skills (whatever that may be, and that may involve using time outside of work to read up/practice) you should be able to land something.

It’s like they are just waiting to write down what I tell them to. How do I get kids to think about what they are reading? How do I get them to do the work?

I'm a data analyst(SQL, Python, ETL, Viz) with 6.5yrs exp at LTI(1 Month exp).
I left PWC AC after 6 months of joining because of the nature of dabba work I was getting(80% testing/documentation, 20% technical). Worked for 12+ hrs everyday and wanted to have some wlb.

Now in LTI, life is too peaceful and there's no technical work in current project. I'm getting thoughts like I'm wasting my skills by taking less tech projects at this stage of career.
