Software Engineering can be a great career path. However some engineers eventually feel they have outgrown their technical engineering role and get the itch for a new challenge. Often the standard path is for programmers to be promoted into management roles. This can be sometimes be disastrous since many of the attributes a great manager are completely different than the attributes of a great engineer. This results in unhappy managers that manage poorly resulting in unhappy employees. A better progression is often a move into a totally different career path that leverages the engineer’s technical background but adds value in a new way. Those considering this path should take a look at a recent FreeCodeCamp blog post which highlights 23 alternate career paths that software engineers can grow into.

This list is also great for those looking to make a move into technology career but don’t feel like writing code all day. There are so great careers in information technology that don’t require coding skills. This is a great place to start your journey.
