Ask HN: Beyond CRUD and ETL – How to Grow Professionally?

I have near 10 years of experience by now. I have worked on ETL , Data migration , CRUD applications. I am well familiar with data warehousing and BI concepts and have worked on many projects involving both. Since last 3 years I have been working with Big Data applications on Hadoop platform mostly writing code in Java and using abstract language/platform such as Pig, Spark , RedShift , Hive.

I am tired of ETL , data cleaning , slicing and dicing projects now.

From business standpoint I have good knowledge of healthcare , insurance, advertising and little bit of finance.

I want to contribute to something big and grow professionally. I work as manager for a mid size company in bay area. I want to join next company as Director or higher level.

What are things I should learn to grow professionally ?

What are things I should keep tab on beyond technical knowledge for getting higher roles as Director or VP ? How do I cultivate the change ?
