Hi, Is there anyone in here who is a QA (Quality Assurance or Tester)? Can someone share how to get started in QA If you have no tech background? I would love to get some insights if you are someone who has transitioned into QA or testing with no prior experience or background, and how did you get your roles ?

Thanks a lot!

Everyone thinks testing can be done by non-technical people or without experience but you really have to be accountable for your work. It is a vast subject. ArtOfTesting is a good website to gain initial knowledge. All the best!

QA is it’s own beast. It’s not like you can go to boot camp like software developers and get jobs the next day. As a Quality Engineer, you must understand software development concepts and be able to read code. You must have skills in the different types and methods of testing, you must be an expert on defect management, and you must be a genius in automation.

Exactly! And also be ready to answer if some defect goes to prod.

Hi Fishes,

My tech is .net application support and yoe is 5. What is the percentage hike that I can expect on the basis of my skill.

I have seen people commenting like your expectation should be YOE * 3 (This is just an example I am referring from another post and this has been not told to me)

As per the above logic, what should be my expectations as per the current market standard. Any suggestions will be helpful

TIA

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.

Q: for FAANG recruiters, do candidates get a reject stamp after failing even at the later stages?
I advanced to the last stage at

A friend who is a hiring manager recently recommended me and this time without even a HR call I received a straight up thanks but no thanks email.
Does this mean I’ve been permanently black listed?
