Message to buddying QA/Jr QA.

manual QA won’t take you far. A) If you’re fresher from Tier 3 college:

Take elitmus test and apply for QA job. Best time for fresher to get jobs as lots of companies hiring fresher/interns/0-2 YoE guy.

B) starting a career in QA/junior QA:

Learn a language and a tool for each domain like PlayWright/Cypress/Selenium from UI automation, RestAssured/Postman/Karate for API and learn about test planning, jira for test management. Start with either UI/API not both.

And later on keep learning about CI tools like Jenkins/Azure/AWS.

Make yourself visible in common group instead of dev DM.

Communicate to PM/Design/Dev team for feature testing. Get yourself involved in PRD(Google it) stage rather when dev give you build. Make team life easy by identifying friction/bottleneck in team and implement a process and reiterates.

P.S.- Don’t start with codeless automation tool.

3.5 LPA to 67 LPA as QA in 7 years as Automation QA.

All the best.

Feel free to ask questions.
