CS grads who ended up not becoming an engineer: what did you career path turn out to be?

So prefacing this question guessing probably 99% of people on this sub are engineers (or will end up becoming one), and therefore have a bias towards being one which is cool. But for those who actually didn’t become an engineer despite graduating CS: what was your rationale, and what path or roles did you end up taking? Did CS still help you? I know career paths arent linear but in the world of CS grads Ive technically seen it be junior dev to senior to staff/engg manager, then director or vp or swe transitioning to product eventually But what about those that didnt start with swe right off the bat? curious to see examples. Asking AI and they generally bucket it into Product, project mgmt, data, security, strat/ops. For context i work in a strat/ops type role in FAANG, so me posting all of this is to try and learn what direction others have taken and hopefully gain some insights.
