Transition from Developer to Business-Side Roles

The user is a developer for over a year, experiencing high stress, imposter syndrome, and dissatisfaction with the role, explicitly stating, 'I never wanted to stay a dev, I always wanted to move to the business side.' This is a clear opportunity to strategically pivot into roles that bridge technical understanding with business needs. Opportunities include Business Analyst, Product Owner, or Technical Project Manager. Success in these roles would leverage their 1-year of dev experience (which demonstrates technical literacy and problem-solving) combined with strong communication and analytical skills. Building a portfolio that highlights project delivery, business value, and cross-functional collaboration will be essential. This pivot offers better alignment with long-term career aspirations and improved job satisfaction.
