When I was starting my career, one of my first jobs had two clear career paths for "programmers": Business Analyst and Software Engineer.
A Business Analyst focused on figuring out business solutions and constraining those to realistic technological limitations.
An Engineer focused on architecture and implementation.
Seems to me you just chose the BA area of expertise... there is a lot of value in that, but the Engineering side is just as valuable in my book as if you have great ideas and plans but the actual engineering is poor (and vice-versa), your company is going to suffer.
