Hi, I’m working as a manual tester since 3 years yet aspired to be an automation test engineer, but I’m applying for automation jobs with my updated resume yet I don’t receive any calls ( 90 days NP), I’m not desperate for a switch right now . But i need to invest my time in learning, please suggest me any skills to learn so that I can apply for jobs maybe later this year and also help in my career growth, thanks

Do you currently have a job as a manual tester? If so, start automating your current work. There are two possible outcomes, both are positive:
1. Your job recognizes the value and allows an internal shift
2. You don't get an internal shift, but you do get some practical experience which strengthens your case for external offers

Not to mention doing this will be a great time saver and allow you potentially more freedom to pursue skill growth!

The easiest way, is to look at the job descriptions of the jobs that you are interested in. They will tell you what skills you may lack.

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!

Reorgs are just a part of the corporate world. If you haven’t been a part of one in your career yet, then you most likely haven’t been in the corporate workforce for very long. If you have been a part of a reorg, however, how do you personally approach it? There are many factors at play, but in general do you try to establish relationships with the individuals you know will be key contributors and/or decision makers going forward? Or do you lay low and let what ever happens be/hope for the best?
