Look for tech PM roles or roles you where you are the bridge between the engineers and the business. Basically an IT business analyst.

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.

Fishbowl? Or Facebook lol

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
