@Jayesh. Thanks for your response. Actually i was leaning more towards a person who understands the customer requirements and translate it to a design/architecture which the desgn team would go ahead and implement! My understanding after talking to some of my ex-colleagues is this. As far as documentation goes it is not a necessity though it may be a requirement. If you consider companies operating in Agile mode, nonone has the time to document or the requirements change rapidly and they may have to change the design..

Thanks

@Chris The Business Analyst idea sounds interesting to me but my question what does it involve and what are the growth prospects? I don't want to become stagnated in that field and would like your suggestion on what industries do i need to look into. I hope i am making some sense if not please let me know

After doing some self-analysis i have come up with the below concerns and would like help on how do i go about addressing them

1. Though i have been in this field for close to 8 years, I cannot think as fast as my peers and i do take time to analyse. I have a habit of writing down whenever i am given to analyze problems and that takes time. Isn't it a norm that in this industry they expect you to be fast and quick thinking?
2. I have a very very short listening/attention span and tend to get carried away because of which it has affected my work.
3. I get too much affected by my peers at work as they were lot smarter than me and good get the job done quickly but i used to take my own time.
4. I don't have the habit of going out and reading up on the latest trends in the field. I want to get motivated to do so but i am not able to convince/motivate myself to do that.
5. Whenever i am using a framework, my peers have the habit of going down to the source code level and trying to understand how it works, but for some reason i am not able to convince/motivate myself to do so!

Probably these are the concerns that is kind of making me run away from this field!


Thanks

@Jayesh..Thanks for the response. No I am not interested in teaching either. I am more at the stage of discovering myself(so to speak) and would like suggestion on how to go about it. I do have taken several tests like Brinkman tests etc but except for superficial suggestions, i could not gather much from those tests. What i am actually looking for is how to discover what I am really passionate about? I can go on and on taking courses after courses but who would pay my bills!! I agree that their is no hard and fast rule but just need a direction and i can pick it up from there on!!

Thanks

I have been in the field of Java programming since 2004. Though I have had lots of ups and down throughout my career, i am at a point where i know what i don't want to do but don't know what to do. I don't want to be a programmer in Java or for the matter in any language because, in spite of spending close to 8 years and now unemployed, i don't feel like attending any interviews or opening a book to learn the language. I am not sure whether it is that i lack the passion/interest or when i used to go and work, i felt hopeless as i lacked understanding of the subject and could not perform well compared to my peers. I have not taken time to research any other fields because my main intention is to go back to India after a couple of years and I am not sure what is that field which can provide me a bridge to jump across still retaining my sanity.I am really serious to make a mark on myself..to excel in it. I am not a fast learner but i take it slow and steady. I am not interested in testing or documentation or being at the management level.

Any suggestions please?
