Hi all,

I am currently working as QA experience 3.5 years. B.E Computer science from Tier 1 college. Landed up in QA not by choice.

Now willing to make career shift as full stack developer. What do I need to do.

Quick survey: Do you guys think having a template package to envelope an ML model as an application would be helpful. The package could contain boiler plate template for unit test, docker image, CI/CD, database connectors etc and act as a starting point for doing that. Tech firms usually have that internally but limited options in open source.

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

I own a global Technology Recruitment Company and provide Coaching to Job Seelers.

Let me know if we can help.

Can LGBT partners//Ds/MDs chime in how they managed the same transition?
