I've been in manual testing for 80% of my career. Despite attempts to transfer into a more code-centric role, I never got the opportunity to do so. Now that I'm in a management role, I feel like it's too late to enhance my programming skills.

Suppose I want to transition into a developer role, will self-study be sufficient for passing the necessary requirements for coding jobs? Lately, I've been learning python and using what I learned by solving problems at leetcode.

Do you want to stay in Test Engineering? If so, integrating DevOps UAT automation in pipelines would probably be a perfect fit to grow your skillset.

You'd get coding experience as you go in an area you are already familiar with.

Seconding Slaloms comment ^ there is typically a huge gap of people who can get the pipeline and testing setup in an automated way. If you learn how to weave it together and automate it, your worth your weight in gold for a lot of places.

Seeing that the trend in Test Engineering is automation, I don't really have a choice either but to upskill in coding. As for integrating UAT automation into dev ops, I need to look more into that. Do you have any recommendations for skills/languages/trainings to specialize in that?

Sick! Thanks to both of you!

Crying for my RSUs….started at my company about 6 months ago and got some RSUs split over 3 years.

Stock price has been cut in half since then, along with my RSU value. 😭 how do I cope?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA?

I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
