Hi everyone,
Need some suggestion here have I ruined my career by opting QA Engineer as a fresher?
Do I need to switch domain ASAP?

QA engineers are an integral part of the IT world. No application can run smoothly without the involvement of QA. If you like QA, you can continue doing it. Simple as that. You can also upskill and become a SDET. There's so much of stuff you can do.

QA is as equal as any other domain in IT. Everyone has their own role to play and it depends totally on you like what technology you wish to continue on.

Qa engineers are in demand..especially if either you are a domain expert or have experience in automation tools like selenium, RPA etc. Since I am in prod development i know the importance of the QA profile !

So don't worry about what people say about QA being an inferior role. If you like it, go for it !!

If you left did you find securing a new job difficult due to only being there for so little time?
