How much is base salary for automation QA Engineer entry level?
5yoe as manual. Moving to automation. Behind only theoretical courses and knowledge. Not sure how much I have to ask for. ***** Location: Bay Area Interested in any company, that pays well. Currently manual at Apple Thanks
QA role is dead, specially manual in any 1-Tier company
Not agree. There are bunch of QA roles. Are you a troll?🤔
No, that’s not true. Plenty of companies still have test roles because most engineers are either too lazy to write anything other than unit tests, and not good at test concepts in general. While MS, LinkedIn, Netflix, and FB may not have QA roles, Apple, Amazon, Google, Snap, Lyft, and Twitter all do (and Twitter brought back QA after not having it because they realized how valuable it actually is) It’s definitely not a dead role, however, being able to do dev dramatically opens up the number of roles you can apply for.
Don’t do automation at Apple, go elsewhere. But at Apple I’ve seen TC of 350 for a senior automator.
What part of the country? What company? Etc Need way more info than that to give you a good number.
The post is updated. Can I get an estimation based on that?☝️
With no automation background, maybe 130-140k base, with a TC around 150k-200k I’d be surprised if you got more than that, and you very well may get lower if you’re leveled at an entry level position. If so, you’re looking to start around 120k TC, but it’ll rise fast.
