QA future career options - I have 10+ yr exp (all in QA both manual & automation) & 4yr with Deloitte as SS (none of my past 4 projects were ready to support my promotion even though I am doing above & beyond my role). I sense that managers don't feel QA is an important part of project & always try to find excuse to turn down the promotion opportunity. I feel I've reached a dead end with respect to my career growth. Should I switch to different role? What role would suit QA? Non coding experienc

This is surprising to hear as we are hiring a lot of automation engineers (both SS and SSS levels). Automation is definitely the way to go if you want to stay on the tech side. You’ll easily find support in the center. Although, you mentioned no coding experience, what tools have you been using for automation then?

If you don’t want to stay tech, you’ll have to look at other areas - specifically leading QA teams on strategy and delivery. Talk to your coach, and also your current manager. Tell them your promotion aspirations, and ask them how they can support it and what role would they need you to perform for it.

Simply saying they don’t support you for a promotion is not enough, they need to help explain why. The feedback needs to be constructive and help you push forward.

Once they said they will support next year but by that time the project was over. Another project went to offshore team. I have automation experience in UI Path, Qualatia etc with basic level of programming as a QA. Would it be possible that I can move to the project that's hiring SSS?

u can move into functional area. BA , SBA or even Product management

If you have automation experience(programming), I would suggest moving to Salesforce and later transition to a SF developer.

success as a SF developer is pretty difficult without coding background & hands on experience on related web technology ( JavaScript etc). admin , BA can be done though

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?
