Question . I have been a SDET and QA for 15 plus years . Can I apply for Senior Or Staff SWE in FAANG? I have been practicing Leetcode and System design . Will I be considered for a interview atleasr ? . #engineering #software
Highly unlikely! Why do you think you are qualified enough to be L6 SWE without any experience in Development
Sir, nope! But, we never know. Crazier things have happened
nah. completely different skillset. you pidgeonholed yourself. might be able to swing sdm or something.
Were you SDET or QA at Microsoft?
The job market is hot if you are good at your job if you at least have a chance in the interview. DM me if you are interested for Senior SDET role at meta.
Hey, is this role still open? I recently got a SDET L5 offer but I am open to new opportunities too before I accept it. Can I dm you?
Curious- what do SDETs do on a daily basis ?
Pretty much majority of devops work + testing platform work + framework
Automate
I mean kindAh what’s is their daily routine? I was searching and found this post. Check out this post! "What do SDETs do? (Tech Industry)" https://us.teamblind.com/s/eKafe6jD Like a unique stack overflow question for which there is just no clear answer .
Yeah it's pretty confusing to navigate their career path and responsibilities
SDET means absolutely different things for different companies. It’s really hard to figure out specific path and responsibilities.
unlikely unless you actually have "SDET" experience. Most SDET's we see from interviews are actually test eng's so there skillset doesent really match the SDET skill set required at most big tech companies at the senior level which aligns with the SDE ladder level wise. The interviews are virtually the same except the system design interview is more test domain focused for SDET.

Yes Amazon and Meta both hire senior QAEs and Senior SDETs L6
What about as SWE? I want to be a Software enginner
Not sure about the bar for SDE though as Amazon keeps a different bar for SDEs with T vs SDEs. What you can do is join as SDET and worked towards SDE transition. Amazon is pretty open to do that
