Hello,
I'm a recently certified (
SCJP) junior software engineer (or Software Engineer I). My annual review is coming up, and I'd like to research the possible career paths and promotions available to me. I've already discussed with my supervisor that I want to stick to a development "track" for the time being, and he said that meant promotions to Team Lead, then Chief Architect. I do know that there are also levels to the Software Engineer title. I'd like to get an idea of what these jobs entail and what is required to be successful at them, and also other options.
I've looked on the Monster, Careerbuilder, and Salary.com websites, but they only give information on specific job titles, not how those titles are organized in a career path progression. Any other places I need to look?
I look forward to your responses,
Amanda
