Almost never see QA/QE ppl posting tc. If you are one, can you please share? My tc 210k, principal QA, Bay Area
210 is ok for principal. Yoe?
I have 10 yoe but not sure that makes a difference in QA
Damm.
What do you do exactly as a QA?
Finding issues I guess. Functional. Performance, etc.
IMO companies are trying to reduce headcount but still humans are needed. Many tests cannot be automated or is hard to do so. Also in my experience automation ppl most of time worry about having their test suites pass and not about finding issues.
Ps your pay is horrendously high :D Google doesn’t pay me that much as SWE, also Google has contractors for QE and they earn 1/3-1/2 of this, almost no QE in Google is a full-time employee
