If you are working as a software engineer (which is most likely the case) after getting a Computer Science Engineering degree, your career path will be more or less like this:





If you are working in a company which uses the software products to do their businesses - something like Consulting. In that case, you will have the flexibility to grow beyond the technical ladder. In that case you can get in to different domains like database administration, project management, general management etc.

1. Working with Radar and Communications Technology
2. Supporting high performance and embedded computng systems foe nuclear medicines
3. Military Software Support
4. Designing new Motors and Sensors for Robotics Equipments.

Down the line 5 Years in thefield of Computer Engineering, onecan find him/herself at mid level Management positions or even the "Project Managers" with associated appraisals.

Hi Swarali,

Good question!

In 5 years time; if you are working for a large Computer organization; You are likely to end as one of the following;

1. Specialist/Architect: This is related to the work you have been doing and you become an expert in that segment and you will acknowledged as such.

2. Team Lead: If you display good teamwork and leadership skills in the first 5 years; then you are likely to elevated to a Team Lead position. You would be heading a team of 5-15 persons and are responsible for their work. If you want to grow in this direction; a MBA degree will be useful, along PMP certification (Project Management)

3. Consultant: You could become the interface between the company and its client. This may involve travel to the client site/s.

Hope, you have a clearer idea now!

Cheers!
