Congratulations on this milestone.
My questions:
What are the skills relevant today for a sdet? Something that is non negotiable and we should be aware of?

like

Thanks Mate 🙏
The important skills for sdet are to keep themselves relavant to the market and switching job if growth stops . As SDET don’t be someone who just creates automation scripts but become a person who enables others to write . Solve problem which no one asked you to solve but you feel is good for organisation , operate at 1 level above your actual level

Congratulation..Can you guide whats skillsets that helip you to reach at this milestone...

Core stack that made the difference: Playwright, Cypress, API testing (Postman/SuperTest), K6 for performance, and CI/CD basics on GitLab. Domain depth in fintech helped a lot too. Pick one and go deep rather than spreading thin.

Can you share the company details and skill set also ? For references

Can’t reveal the company.. but skills are that of automation platform developer

Hi Author, Can you reveal the name of your previous company?

Hey , sorry I can’t

And what's your location

Can you share how you land at interviews in your current and previous company? What approach did you follow to get interviews - do you reach out to HRs by anyway or they themselves reached out to you?

Hii author, what are your tech stack??

Heyy.. it’s mainly around automation platform development.. using typescript, nest js , pytest, gitlab cicd , playwright , detox .. but frankly it keeps on changing

I am also trying for a QA profile for the last 3 months. I have 3.5 years of experience as a QA but still have not found a job. Any guidance would be appreciated.

At 3.5 years, manual-only profile is the bottleneck. Add Playwright + API testing basics — even 4-6 weeks of hands-on practice changes your resume tier significantly. Also audit your resume for ATS keywords.

Fantastic👏
Keep learning, Keep growing

Thanks Mate 🙏

Hi, I have 12 years of experience in Quality Assurance at present iam in job search, please can you help me out to get a job in Mumbai

12 years is strong — the market in Mumbai for senior QA is decent, especially BFSI. Make sure your resume highlights automation exposure even if limited, and target companies like TCS, Persistent, Mphasis, or product startups in BKC/Powai. DM me your profile, happy to give specific feedback.
