I have 1.5yoe as an SDET before switching over to SDE at amazon 2 years ago. Most of the time when companies and people look at my resume, they would say that I have 3.5yoe as an SDE and interview me accordingly. Last week I had a call with this headhunter who mentioned that I only have 2yoe as an SDE and SDET tenure didn’t really count. Seems like there is a negative connotation about being an SDET so I’m wondering if putting that I’m a SDE instead for that 1.5y is a big deal at all, especially when I have a longer SDE experience after that. Companies will likely do background checks but will they renege offers if they found out I was a SDET instead of an SDE?? yoe 3.5 Tc 200k #swe #sdet #sde
LOL recruiter is an asshole. SDETS are highly respected and a very important role. I am a principal SDET and most SDETS in my team earn more than SDE. SDET is a also highly misunderstood title like SRE and Devops.
Base alone for senior SDETS can cross 200k easily. DM if you want to apply.
Wish I found you earlier. SDETs at my old company were treated like we didn’t know how to code :/
SDETs are probably one of the most sought after roles in the market now! Don't worry!
I am #hiring #sdet #pytest and #fullstack python devs right now! Msg me and I’ll be sure to respect your time and your expertise!
We have 14 open roles ( Junior SDET to principal, manager SDET ). We probably pay the highest in base salary. DM for more details.
Just say you were SDE at Amazon. Don't actively disclose things that will work against you. Be honest only if they ask in detail.

Do you interview for fun?
Never let yourself get bullied by bullshit recruiters like this one. You're superior to them by the virtue of being a human being, which they are not. Tell them to get fucked and don't let them waste your time even by having you revise your resume
I like the mentality
