I hope there are some team leaders/managers (or insightful grunts) out
there that can give this post a little time, as this topic is a heavy
weight on me.
I owned a software company for about 6 years. I sold it about 5 years
ago, did almost nothing for about 2 years, and have been employed as
the sole developer in a .COM for the past two years by a former client
of my software company.
I manage the web site, web services, and Windows Development, SQL
Server, and Windows 2003 Server (dangerously).
While I have managed a development team, (and support/Service Team)
that was done so in my own company in my own style, perhaps not
correctly, I don't know as I have no I have nothing to compare it to.
In essence, I have never worked in conventional corporate
environment.
I am not satisfied with my current job as it is stagnant, I am going
nowhere. To boot, I am burnt out on Entrepreneurship, while new
product ideas are vast, the idea of going back to "business
management" makes me cringe. I don't want to go back to that level of
stress.
I have no college degree, I am self taught, I am 36 and am considering
becoming a MCPD (Enterprise Developer / C#) What can I expect in the
workforce at that point?
Am I employable? At what position? What Salary?
"Any" Comments would be greatly appreciated.
