I see so many posts here in salary by Devs. But i see very less crowd from testing community. Any experienced QA SDET out here who can tell on the career progress in this domain. Is it possible to get high salary in SDET like most of SDE background are getting, like more than 60LPA. I feel it's impossible to reach that with QA/SDET background 😓😓😓😓

What career choice do we have if we have to get higher salary

Either Data engineer or data scientist or software development

Sometimes i feel it was wrong decision to join this domain. But now after working for years, i find it difficult to get a chance to switch to other field like dev. But again i feel tester/SDET role is really not that easy, each role have different sets of challenges. Then why such bias against QA SDET roles

Anybody else noticed recruiters are only proactively reaching out about hybrid/on-site roles nowadays?

It's almost as if people don't want to be in offices anymore so that's why it's difficult for them to fill those roles.
Sidenote: recruiters, you can see on my LI profile that I'm remote. In the "What jobs are you interested in" field you can see I'm only interested in remote roles.
So, why are you reaching out to me about jobs in a city 3 hours away that's 100% onsite and w/out even a ReLo?
