SDET at established vs DevOps at a startup
Can you please help me in making a decision. Akamai SDET vs Bluescape DevOps Priorities- Role, H1 Sponsorship, job security I like systems engineering a lot, also I have a knack to break things, find flaws continuously thriving to improve quality.
Dev ops sound better than qa to most. QAs are getting outsourced, though wont ever become obsolete. I was former qa, laid off, became a dev
How difficult was it to transition from QA to Dev, I meant in terms of opportunities!
A bit difficult bc qa requires no skills, at least little to no coding skills. U may settle for less desired companies like amazon when u first become a dev
Akamai if you want a stagnant career with good wlb. If young and risk taker go with the Devops one
Choose Bluescape, you will learn a lot. DevOps is one of the best fields. One more thing, being an employee of startup does not have any impact on you visa.
What’s your role priority? Lol
Pls don't take it the wrong way, the industry has sterotyped that once in QA it is super difficult to get employed as Dev in future, pay is comparatively less and I fear QA role will disappear in few years as devs work more responsibly.
