QA is a dying field in USA. If your test automation skills are strong , you can still land good roles in FANG if you Leetcode enough. A good friend of mine in sinilar field landed a very nice offer from Nvidia after he learnt Python and Leetcoded enough. His salary $128k base + 25k joining + whatever stocks nvidia gave ( this was 3 years back)
Thank you Do you mind elaborate why QA is a dying field in US pls ?
QA at many companies is a cost center. I see many QA roles being geoshifted to cheaper parts of the globe like to India / China. Why would they pay someone upwards of $100k when they can hire 3 testers for same money in India ? This happens at my company, once a product is stabilised enough, the testing gets moved to India where they have so many QA folks working on it. We still maintain a small team here for immediate sanity tests, but they are constantly under the chopping block and are the first ones to be culled during a layoff.
