For my fellow SDET / QA / SQE community
Please stay aware of market salaries and company earnings.
Your compensation should grow with your impact, not just with time.
A healthy benchmark many use:
Salary (LPA) ≈ Experience × 3
If you’re below that, don’t panic — treat it as a signal, not a failure.
Upskill with intent:
• Go beyond basic automation
• Learn system design & test architecture
• Understand CI/CD, cloud, performance

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?
