Network hard. I had a guy send his resume from a no name, I was staffer at the time and hired him at a bulge (different firm), and he left for a legit ass PE shop within a year. He was a total animal in all the best ways. Hit it hard and things will work out.

Hey fishes 👋

I am a manual tester with 7 yoe, I am looking to move to some specialized testing like automation, etl or performance.

Which specialization is better and has scope for the future? Would be helpful if you could suggest the tool, course or certification to take

I’ve been working as a data analyst for about 5 years, and I’m wanting to switch careers into SE. I recently finished a python course, and I’m unsure of my next steps. I’ve seen some posts about pros and cons of boot camps or learning additional languages but with my current experience, would either of these be a realistic path to get a job? Or would I need something like an additional degree to get my foot in the door? Any advice is welcome!
