Ask HN: What career options can I pursue with do not involve full-time coding? I am seeking career directions from HN community. I have a Masters in Computer Applications. Over the last decade, I have worked with various IT services companies which mostly involved writing code (apps, backends, scripts) as the primary activity. I feel writing code as the primary activity is not that I am, or will ever be very good at. But, I love the domain and have a decent understanding about where my skills lie (highly interested in learning deeply about system/technology, self learning & mentoring colleagues, reading, and communicating with other people). I am looking for alternate career avenues in the computer technology domain, which can best leverage my strengths along with my decent understanding of computer programming. I have a really good understanding of Apple developer ecosystem along with in-depth knowledge of Apple and related hardware, software and services. What are the career avenues that I can look towards pursuing? I am pretty flexible about options (on-site, remote, part-time, consulting). I am trying to understand what kind of jobs my skills can be useful in, where I won't be expected to doing programming as the primary activity. Thank you for your time and inputs. |
