Hi,
I am in programming field over 9 years. I get tired now coding. I want to change from Programming position to some other positions in computers which requires less programming and fix working hours. What other position are they?
Thank You,
Angela

Below is a partial list of jobs at a software company which require less coding / fixing than a basic developer. I have ordered them by likelihood of finding a former developer in that position.
architect
project manager
product manager
technical pre-sales
domain expert
technical writer
UI designer*
tech support
corporate strategy / biz development

*Not a UI developer, but someone who understands software ergonomics

Angela,
I am in the same situation as you are. But intestingly, where I work, I don't think I can become a product manager directly. I will have to do time as a business analyst before I can get a Product Manager job. There may be be some hoops to jump through...

I normally see the programmer->programmer/analyst->systems analyst progression at most companies.
Systems Analysts generally don't code as much, by most definitions.
 
please buy my thing and then I'll have more money:
