Use these twelve guides when several IT roles sound interesting but none has been tested in real work. Compare ordinary tasks, translate previous experience and run a small experiment before committing to a course or job title.
Compare the work
Look past titles and ask what an ordinary task, collaboration pattern and finished result would look like in each direction.
Test before you decide
Turn a possible direction into a one-week or one-month experiment with visible output, specific feedback and a next decision.
