Hi,
The slow down and possibility of a few months on the bench has got me thinking about my career. I have been doing project management type roles but really don’t enjoy the leadership, inter-personal side of things (i.e. chasing people, politics, stakeholder management etc). It really doesn’t suit my personality. I was thinking that I would investigate programming and would be interested in your opinion on suitability rather than the business/practical side (ie training/contracts)
On the positive side:
1) I am a good at mentally and physically organising and structuring things. I make a great project planner (I think!). I like to optimise things so they work well. Similar to programming?
2) I pick things up quickly. Especially technical concepts.
3) I have an artistic/investigative nature.
4) I am a musician and play piano and drums but suck at guitar. I read somewhere that people in this situation make better heavy programmers?
On the negative side
I really suck at maths! (which is why I never got into it in the first place)
Any thoughts welcome.
