Hi,

That is totally depending upon your organization and your current role in that organization. 5years experience candidates won't consider as a manager and Architect you can better to migrate to Team Lead after you are good in that position then they may give promotion to Asst. Manager after. But Manager level or Architect level we must and should have a minimum 15 + years of experience to get that position.

Dear Abu
As my opinion you can work as software architect. but you must need about how to handling software architect and their responsibilities.
For answer of your second question , You have a good experience in ASP.net so I think that you need to doing certification in ASP.net.Dot Net Certification Details are Microsoft MCTS(70-528, 70-536), MCP , MCPD (70-547), MCSE, MVP AND MCSD .
Mark as answer if it helped you!

Hai Anbu,
It's your choice that in which direction you want to go. If you are interested in the Technical Side, you can go to architect line and if you are good in people management then you can go to the management side.
Also with that you can go for the certifications which will be add-on to your profile and will be benefit in the future.
Hope it will be helpful to you.

Hi,

My suggestion is try for Technical lead where you will have both people management as well as technical stuff it gives way to further career growth to Project Manager then followed by Senior Project Manager , location manager, account manager, resource manager, delivery manager.

Another option is start your own company. Be it IT / ITES / consultation / training academy any.

Try to attend more interview in different eligible desginations and anlayse your strength and weekness of that designation and which is comfortable and which suits your skills go along with that designation.

All the best for your career!.

Hi anbu,

First of all you have to be good in technical stuff and you must know all the concepts so that you can easily guide your subordinates to give them support and direct to complete their work.

Try to learn to be leader and acquiring leadership qualities in your job and take more responsibilities will make you a good technical lead.

Try to manage the sub ordinates and be responsible for over all direction, Co-ordination.

You have to do Planning, assigning and directing your subordinates.

Moreover, try to learn people their strength and weekness will help you to become good tech leed.

All the best for success in your career!.
