It's been running thru my head lately that I heard this word more than once in my work experience.
"I have learnt enough business logic; it's time to move on."
"This company offers me a lot of business logic experience."
Many people would agree that being a fresh architect, you need to learn as much as the business logic/knowledge as you can take. Therefore, on your next job, you can tell you interviewer that you have working with this, this and this industry with a lot of business logic experience.
Having a lot of business logic experience, nevertheless, it's good. But I think it's not the key point for a architect. In my view, I think a architect/interior designer job is to change the business logic/requirement from the client into a useful solution that would able to help them. Furthermore, I bet the client has an expert or people who has more business logic experience than any architect has.
So, does more business logic experience helps a architect?
I have switched for several jobs and no any business logic from the first have any similarity to the current one. Unless you're moving the end user position such a project manager, where you can work in a large project rendering solution and change jobs once you're bored with the architecture industry. Until then, having the skill of turning the user requirement/specification into practical and feasible solution has far more advantage than simply just learning the business logic.
Then again, people would argue that you can use your business logic experience to your new company in the same industry. This, I wouldn't agree more except you want to stick with same industry for the rest of your life. Of course, the chances of getting new job will be shrank since the job scope is limited to one industry. Not to mention that the employment contract usually stated you can't work with the same industry for a period of 1 to 2 years after your resignation. Does having more business logic helps a architect? I don't think so.
Next time, if some architect told me that they work in a company just to learn the business logic, I will have myself a really good laugh, quietly.
