Grateful for Job Offer, Anxious about Career Trajectory
Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if this is the correct subreddit to ask but I'd be really thankful for your advice:
I'm grateful and lucky that I've received a job offer a few months after finishing my master's degree here in germany given the current job market. It's at a life sciences company and it's for a digital transformation position, so my job there will be to drive the adoption of an AI tool and develop solutions/usecases for different departments.
My job will involve little to no coding at all, which is something I still very much enjoy. I do want to apply to tech focused or mango companies somewhere down the line as an AI engineer, solutions architect or forward deployed engineer, but I think taking this position will make me not have the sufficient programming skills to architect and maintain code/systems, which I find are important for the three positions mentioned. (I do feel like the job offer has some overlap with a solutions architect position in the sales and customer-facing aspect, so there's that). So I'm unsure of taking this position since it won't help me grow my engineering skills.
I technically could accept the offer and keep on searching for a more engineer focused position and that might be the best way, but I decided to ask here if any of you have a different perspective on this, if my logic is wrong, or if I'm just overthinking too much.
Thank you.
