I have a comparable background to yours. More in the architecture / engineering / BPR space. Most of my programming experience came from the earlier days before I worked my way up the ranks. Nevertheless, at first I had similar problems adjusting to not thinking along enterprise systems lines.

I ended up teaching university masters level courses as an adjunct. There is a lack of lecturers with extensive industry experience, especially at enterprise scale. Being in that space has also opened up some interesting consulting opportunities.

Yes, I have thought about trying my hand at some teaching / mentoring.

How did you get into being an adjunct? I have absolutely no idea how to approach something that, but I would be pretty interested to try it. I don't actually have a CS degree / academic background, would that be much of a problem?

The only things I've seen like this when I've looked have been coding bootcamp or high school level stuff, which doesn't really appeal to me.

I have a computer engineering degree and have worked for several multinational companies. And I have previously lectured CS whilst doing a part-time masters - which I didn't complete.

I have no knowledge of what it would take for somebody without some academic credentials to teach. But there is no harm in giving it a go. Universities, in general, are keen to build links with industry.

Your skills, knowledge and experience are far above the level at which boot camp courses are taught. It is very hard for people with advanced knowledge to teach entry level learners, there is just too much that we take for granted.
