I don’t know what kind of jobs you do, but there is no way on Earth that a senior architecht VP whatever will even start to grasp an “organically” grown monstrosity most places have mustered into being. Like, no matter how experienced someone is, the concept behind the whole thing is ill-specified, overly complex and not actionable upfront. It’s 1-2 months minimum that they can do useful work in my experience, and it has nothing to do with technological knowledge, simply the business knowledge is so vast.
