How to move up from manual to automation?

I learn languages, but without practice it is dead knowledge. At work doing the same over, and over, manually, no chance to automate or get hands on it. Dead end. How? How to move up? How to get practice? By applying to juniors automation or what?

They have automation team separate. They do care, I think how I make my results, since we have specific's of the job, that only human can make.

And yes, I can't install any external software, only Apple internal

I have tried learning both stand-alone and classes. I have found classes are more effective with projects. It’s a little bit of money. But, it will help you pay in the end

What's the classes? Bootcamp? Can you tell me more detailed information please? Thank you

I realized I learned more in school than online. It would be great if you take a class at a college which will drive you to think more. I have never done Bootcamp. Typically, coding bootcamp (just to learn a language like Java, Python, etc.), it won’t be more than 1 week.

Dude. Stay there, keep doing usual job. Make a plan for 6 months to study automation. Then move on. If they have a separate automation team, even if you do it yourself they will fuck up up. Think about it. People do a lot for job security.

Cepheid πŸ’»πŸ“–πŸ“šβš« OP May 13, 2019

Right. Security is high I have that plan. But if I imagine myself there for 6 more months, I will drive myself crazy...

If you going to bootcamp and spend money. Why not just go for software developer bootcamp. 3 months get you started but it be years of practice.

Do you think so? πŸ€” I though about it, but kind of scary. From QA to dev

Nothing is scary. Time is everything. If you have time and no visa issue, you can do it.
