thanks for the advice, but it sounds like your friend was a special case. I am by no means a brilliant software developer...
also i don't want to rely on impressing a bigshot.
It'd be great if that stuff happened, but I'm trying to take a more structured approach. I think a lot of people go to Silicon Valley and end up stuck in coding jobs that don't go anywhere, until the next bubble bursts and they get laid off. |

Very few people start off brilliant. You work into it. If you start at MIT or Berkeley you might get a head start.
"I think a lot of people go to Silicon Valley and end up stuck in coding jobs that don't go anywhere,"
But if you want to get a job managing in a software development company you have to go to where the jobs are. That is Silicon Valley, or perhaps Redmond Washington (Micro$oft) or Austin Texas. There aren't that many places where they do a lot of it.
If you do Big 5 consulting you'll end up playing politics more than managing.....
