Hi folks! I've been thinking about making a switch and wanted to hear your thoughts. Given the current QA job market, do you think now is a good time to explore new opportunities, or would it be smarter to wait for more hiring momentum?
Also curious-are companies focusing more on automation-heavy or preferring hybrid QA roles lately?
If you're actively interviewing or recently switched, I’d really appreciate if you could share your exp—would love know what actually happening on the ground

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
