Domain switch Manual QA->SDET->SDE Advices or suggestions

I have 3.5 years experience as Java developer with current ctc 6.3LPA. Is it possible to switch to SDE 2 in product based companies like Microsoft. If yes, please guide me

Hey everyone, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Have any of you successfully aced an interview solely through tutorials, YouTube, or side projects without hands-on work experience? I am a SDET exploring a transition to SDE role, internally tried within my company ,not happening due to various reasons, hence trying to switch over. In order to achieve that, I've worked on full-stack sidd projects, practiced DSA, and made a good "tailored" CV that gets me interview calls. But I am currently facing mixed experiences in interviews. I am able to answer a few but struggle with some questions and seek advice on how to improve. Any suggestions for this career switch are greatly appreciated! Thanks a ton

Hi all, I’ve been working with oracle for almost 2 years. It feels stagnant now. No new skills, newtech to work upon, moreover my position is Associate SDE but I’ve been with QA team since beginning. I’ve talked to manager regarding same but no fruitful outcome. I feel stuck. Im actively looking for switch but can’t figure out which skills to study or start from bcoz different companies ask gor different skillset. And my profile looks more like automation tester then SDE. Pls help !!

I am a technical support engineer with less than two years of experience in the industry. I am working in tier 2 support where it's not much of telecommunication but is fairly technical, tool based though and I feel the urge to switch to an SDE role as i feel my knowledge base is getting restricted to a mere tool than the technology around. How should I approach the companies and switch the domains?

- Have experience of almost 8.5 years. - Been working as an SDET - Wish to switch to a domain other than QA - knows the following programming languages: java python shell scripting - good with DS concepts Please advise. Feeling lost. What should I focus on? Thank you.

Hey guys, So i was asking questions to one engineer manager about quality analyst. I asked her how sdet as field in general as i already have 5 years of experience in QA field. Learning side by side coding for a next switch. She said do something else except QA as in her experience, her previous companies do not have QA team itself. So i am little confused as a career path. So wanted to ask how you guys software at your workplace and does sdet role will have significance in this market in future?

I want to switch but want a company which can provide me higher number of income for SDET or similar role, currently I am in 10-15 years of experience bracket so looking out the companies which provide such high package to SDET as well (Why Devs should have all fun?).

I am evaluating a job switch some time and wanted to know the ideal range that is going into the testing community? I4 years of SDET working at 25-30lpa as well as 5-6 years of QAs working at 15-20lpa bracket. Just needed some guidance from the experts out here from QA/ SDET community.

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
