Did some of your friends chose a business career and as a developer you've always been sceptical about what tasks they work on, what results they produce, if mastering Excel and PowerPoint is the only technical qualification they need for their job, and why it seems like their job interviews are just having lunch with their future boss?

Becoming a Software Architect can be a step in this direction, but it really depends on the industrial sector and the company. It can also be very stressful due to more responsibilities, especially if it includes a good amount of project management.
