Feel Like I’m Stuck in an Architect Role. I Want Out

I have 17 years experience as a software developer. I took a job as a Solutions Architect about a year ago, and I hate it. I realize my place is in the code, the details of getting the product shipped. All I do as “Architect” is schedule meetings to define requirements, review work, answer customer questions, and other meaningless crap. I’ve interviewed for a few Senior Students Software jobs, but get the impression I’m tainted by my recent Architect work.

I’m looking for a little perspective on what to do next?
