Hi everyone!
I am a 8 YOE Manual QA . Everyone is telling me to switch to automation. Please tell me how to start ?
And also I think it's too late for me now...should I look for QA Lead position or pursue automation only?

Nothing is late. Start preparing. Watch videos of mukesh otwani and naveen automation lab. Learn basics. Then do POCs. Create framework and build confidence like you are doing it since 3 years

Automation is just hype.. 90% organisation do 80% job manually.. start learning from today only you will get confidence soon..

Thanks a lot

Completely agree with Walmart that in most companies, work is 80% manual only. But still in order to crack the interviews, you need programming and automation knowledge. Start learning from YouTube, as well as there are some good Udemy courses available which will help you to understand concepts better

Start learning automation.! Even if you choose to get into lead or manager position these days you need to be technically strong. Speaking from shoes of 10 yrs exp.

I’ve had 2 phone interviews so far. Last Friday I was told I’m moving forward to a video interview and portfolio review with the hiring manager. If that goes well, I assume I’m doing the loop. (Why is this process so long? 🤪) I haven’t heard back from the scheduler yet. How long does it typically take to get scheduled for a video interview and then for the loop?

I am currently working at a prod based company as a QA Engineer in a maintenance project. I joined 7 months back. They offerred me an SDET+DevOps role. And all this while I was mostly working on manual. There is no scope and value to automation in this project.

I have an offer from a service based company with 25% hike from my current ctc. They have offered a API automation project.

Is it wise to leave now or should I wait for an year?
