Getting fired

Hi guys, As a fresher I joined CG, where I got trained and have 2 year experience in software testing, but from beginning I had interest in development, I requested many times to manager but no proper response. And now I got laid off. Currently searching job as a software tester, it's been 6 months no proper interview call getting scheduled I'm very confused should I continue with testing profile or this is the time to upskill and look for dev role I have enrolled in full stack course too. Please give me your opinion on should I continue job hunt for testing or start new Journey as full stack developer? Thank you

Storytime - I have around 4 years of experience in QA field where i do manual testing. So i changed my field to frontend dev in pursuit of good salary and thought that software developer will have more roles. My previous company invested little bit in me but did not give any major projects. Then they fired me on basis of lack of logical skills. So i started looking for QA roles and dev role. Also i get to know that sdet roles are also a thing where people can earn as much as sde. Now the problem starts, i was laid off and given 1 month salary. So i found one job which is remote and it is of QA job . Until this point i made my mind that i will move on sdet path . Then my friend has referred me to one company before my layoff. So they scheduled one tech interview for frontend dev and i cleared it. I cleared it because my friend give me problem😅. Also there is no hr round and they also released offer. Now the problem is i have joined QA role. i am little bit scared that what if i joined sde role and same thing again happens to me. Little company fires me for not completing my task on time. Then i will lose my current job too and i have to start from zero. Compensation details - QA role - 9 LPA Sde role - 10 LPA Both are remote. Sde role can be on-site. In my mind , mostly i will reject sde role due to fear. Want to know opinions. Thank you

Hi Friends, I was working for past 2.5 yrs in wipro. I know languages like sql, power bi, python. But after joining wipro they allocated me in c++ skill and also they didn't allocated me in proper technical project until 1st yr. In the second year i went into bench then after 3 mnths HR called me and told if i not got any project LOP will be initiated. So i searched for even non technical opportunity and got one, finally i was working in technical support shift basis. Now I want to switch company with my old skills but i not having proper handson in projects. How can I get handson and can crack the interview. And also how I can explain the experience without any work. Please suggest me.

Hi folks, I need some guidance to switch my current company.As UI developer, I've been working for three years in my project.But in unable to crack my technical interview.Before interview I'm preparing a lot to answer those questions.but I fail there...is there any tips to achieve my interviews and get placed in new company...Would appreciate if I get any solution

First company shutdown it's operation and gave work to current company. Now new company took some of the employees from old company. I got selected in that. And I joined given that I didn't had other offer. But now after 1 month this company doesn't feel good. Desperately wanting to change the company as work is bad (although working on same work which I used to do, tech is very old, VB. Net) but not feeling enough prepared. And the current time is horrible. My company has 90 Days notice period. What to do? Recruiter on this spot reject direct after hearing 90 Days. (1 Year experience) (salary is around 10) Also wanted to change tech stack. And how much salary should I target now given the market condition? Some recruiter even straight away said you are already getting paid high. grapevine fellows, please advise.

Is there a way to come out of current company, since notice period is 90 days, not able to get job offers easily(almost nill), every recruiter is expecting joining within 30 days. Not able to manage finances with current salary and at the same time unable to switch. For qa automation role more than 10 years experience. Kindly provide some suggestions.

Hi, I am working as test engineer. I will be completing my 2 years in this company by next month. I am planning to switch. Internally I am facing to get a developer role. In experience letter I may get designation as Test Engineer. is this a drawback when I wanted to work as developer in other companies. How can I switch to other company as Java or Salesforce developer?

I am a senior software engineer with 6 + yoe mainly into backend (java and golang tech stack). I am currently serving my notice period with no offer in hand.(my last day is April 30) I have applied and given interviews to almost 12 companies and failed after clearing 2 or 3 rounds. I feel that I am losing confidence in my skills when I face such rejection even though I shouldn't. I feel like whatever answer I give during interviews is wrong and I constantly try to lookup the internet in the middle of interviews in fear of getting rejected. Even though I know things very well I try to validate it and then mug up whatever is written on the internet and whenever a new question is asked which I haven't seen earlier where I would be required to think , i blank out. This has never happened to me earlier.. I need some advice on how do I keep confidence in my skill and start solving things on my own.

I am looking to switch companies, however I end up logging 12-13hrs daily ( including breaks). How do you all manage the time and how long are you logged in ?
