Ask HN: Long term career decision advice – Stay “mobile” or pivot
Now I find myself at a cross road, having thought on where I see myself in 10 years, I came to conclusion that I might be roadblocked - If I would want to proceed to the CTO/VP Eng. route, it would be less easy coming from the mobile realm, as statistically (nothing official or anything, just looked around me) most director level and above seem to grow from the backend/fullstack realms.
I did take this topic up with my managers, who understood the issue and offered to help by finding a suitable engineering/architecture role in any of the non-mobile engineering teams. Now it's up to me to decide if doing such a move would benefit me or might hurt me.
Sorry for the long write up, hope someone might be able to help me here if he/she were in similar positions, or have some useful advice.
