Hi Everyone, I see here in this group and others, QA/SDET guys are getting so good salary offers.
I have 6+ years of experience into testing - manual and automation with Selenium java , bdd cucumber, etc.

My salary is only 11 lpa. I want to get into 30+ lpa salary range. What skills do I need to learn in order to get such good package ? Please help.. I am feeling stuck in y current company. No hikes no promotion. Overall 7% hike in 4 years 😑

Firstly, you cannot get to 30+ CTC with single jump as long as I know except for elite product companies. However, you can target 30-40% first from your CTC , later make another jump after 1 year or so..

A few tips that helped me:
1. Solved easy and medium leetcode or any platform for top interview questions.
2. Prep for interview automation questions on UI - Selenium/Playwright, API - RestAssured/Postman/Playwright, DB automation through JDBC, AI concepts and real usage with Copilot or Cursor.
3. Have in-depth knowledge on building automation frameworks.
4. Brush up manual testing, edge cases thinking, test management process etc.

If you know all of the above then well and good. Apply for product/consulting companies don't go again for services company. You will have to clear multiple rounds in product companies, maybe 4-6 rounds so prepare mentally and start attending.

Most important of all resume needs to be impressive to get through the gate.

Cheers!

Hello Fishs,

I have given 3 rounds of interview for the position of SE- B8 , i.e. Lead SE. Now in salary discussion round i asked HR for a CTC between a range of 31-34L. But they told me max they can give is 29.5L. I still did not accepted the initial offer from HR, it is going again one more round for salary negotiation after HR confirms the bracket from Business. I know Natwest dont negotiate once you accepted the offer. What CTC can i expect from Natwest for Lead SE.
