answer:Hard to say without knowing your company’s culture and the way the job descriptions are structured. however, you can get some clues from the Title. An Architect designs the structure from scratch, from the ground up, and sets the rules and philosophy of how things interact. A developer creates things following the structure defined by the Architect. One caveat about job titles and job growth: positions like Architect can be respected within a firm’s hierarchy, but they may be dead ends as far as promotions and greater responsibility. That is why you sometimes find older employees in positions like that.
