working as senior QA automation Eng. I have around 9 years of exp in QA and 2 years in dev internally. Though working as Dev currently but position dint change in company officially. I got one offer in a series A funded start up to work as a dev. They are telling they will get series B funding very soon and then company valuation will go high. Should I take it or continue working in current company as dev with no official position. Applying as dev externally in big companies will be difficult as they mostly will look for past dev exp ( I guess so). Pls suggest what should I do. Other path ( may be safer) is to move to big companies as SDET. Not sure what to do. But this will continue to hv my position in QA. I wanted to move gradually to dev, though i think i m already very late in my career to change from QA to dev. TC: $140k YOE: 11
We don’t have QA in cap one . We laid off all QA and Microsoft did that in past too. So join startup.
Thanks for suggestion.
SDET is good if you work on framework and 90% time on coding .
Are you in manual testing ?
No. Automation. Currently working as dev with no official position.
Framework or test case automation ?
140k for 11 yoe? Which city are you in?
