What is the career path for a software developer/ programmer? [closed]
- by Lo Wai Lun
I've been working as a programmer for a few months and I often study CCNA , CISSP for future.
Besides simple coding I was working on specs, designing applications, and all those around-like things.
My question is, I want to be a information / system security specialist.
what's the career path I should be aiming for? Is it like working on code for the rest of my life? :) Restart my career from the network engineer ? Or do programmers make a good manager-position people ?
I know it's very subjective. Thing is, lately I find myself much more into the designing/working on specs part of the development project then the coding itself.
How do you see it? Would you like to go from development to information security? Would you like to work on a project with a manager that used to be a coder?
