I've been working professionally as an software engineer for nearly twelve years and found myself in a medium to large size corporation in their CTO group as their cloud solution architect and principal architect for close to four years now in a very challenging domain. I've managed this trajectory without an undergraduate, jumping straight into work with IBM after completing my associates and a few IT certifications.
I find myself enjoying working with the C-suite team and defining our higher level goals and trajectory more than I do on specific technology these days. I also feel like the current position, though admirable to most, could be where I retired if I am complacent and I'm not done climbing yet. I can't imagine going back to finish my computer science degree in an attempt to use it as a stepping stone to a MBA or executive program but I'm not certain how to take the next step. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thank for reading.
