Saw this title from time to time. What exactly is an EA and what does it do? Is it a step up from the solutions architect? Is it considered a technical or business related role? Currently a solutions architect and I'm trying figure out the future career roadmap. Is EA a promising role to grow into? TC: 145
SA talks about one solution/ product and how it will fit in the overall landscape whereas EA talks about the complete landscape and how all products/ solutions will align with enterprise's technical and businessl strategy.
Are we inventing job descriptions on blind now? I'm sorry, this attempt was embarrassingly wrong
I politely disagree and would love to see your take on these two roles, please elaborate.
Mostly someone looking at the level of a portfolio of projects or products and how they align to where the business wants to go. It's very easy to get out of touch with reality in this role, so I have met very few that added much value.
EA is not a SWE role, you got that wrong. Please check definition of EA @ TOGAF or ZACHMAN framework
Wow... that's 100% accurate... but unfortunately only in metaverse
It makes PowerPoint decks and sales pitches, only at enterprise scale 😜
32x9 wide, because Enterprise WIDE, lol
Usually someone who is bored of being a code monkey and wants to interface directly with customers.
Some people confuse an EA with a software architect. Cats know more about software engineering than EAs.
Someone who attends meetings, says the word “scale” a lot, and forgot how to code
I'm sorry you haven't had a chance to experience an architect who could be transformative to your org (for the better). Maybe one day you will :)
