Hi All
I'm working as a QA in a product based company and have an experience of 2.7 years in both manual and automation testing. I'm trying for a switch in a SDET role, but now my current company is offering me the role of a Product Manager. Can anyone share your thoughts on what should I do? Is SDET a better role or a PM as a point of career growth ?
