I have spent 6 years in mix of sdet and qa domain. Over the course of years because of my passion of learning new things and coding has developed various small scale projects for my previous orgs. I have good understanding of HLD and understand little bit about infrastructure. Now I want to work full time in core development domain and work on scale systems.

Looking for inputs on how to improve my skill set and make this transition happen as early as possible.

Thanks in advance

Ps- already out of Adobe. Hasn't updated my profile yet.

      Low pay, slow growth
      Path to growth in Adobe is, Product manager or QA manager then Engineering manager

      If you want to change to SDE, then stay away, Its nearly impossible
      Join Adobe as SDET, then switch to SDE by joining Microsoft or Amazon.

    • Isn’t it same in every company? You can transition to any of these dev roles in any company.

    Major chunk of Adobe SDET go to other companies as SDE
    Because Adobe gives SDET designation "Software Engineer"

    Recruiters just search for that keyword and call for interviews

    So all you need to do is clear the interview.

    There are 1000s of videos on cracking SDE interviews
