Is Automation QA a good role

Software QA(Automation) having 3 yrs of exp with Salary 12LPA , thinking of switching to Backend dev role . Although here are my few queries : 1. Is QA domain good in long run with respect to salary . 2. Will Dev role be difficult to adapt , as i have exp in development but only in writing test scripts . 3. How much should i expect the staring dev salary to be as compared to my current CTC ? 4. Is it a good switch , say if i stay in QA domain for 2 more years then i guess CTC would be around the ball park of 18 - 20 LPA . But if i switch to dev and gain 2 years of exp will it be able to match the salary of QA ? Thanks in Advance

Can you start and end your career in testing? What do you think is the future of testing 🤔

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?

If QA or SDET a good career? Kyuki mai sunn rahi hu ki testing ka koi future nahi hai AI ke zamaane mai. So pls all the senior folks in this forum pls guide me.

Hi Guys- i have 3.3 yrs of experience and Need to understand the scope of automation testing now and in future, since I can do little coding stuff does it makes sense switch to dev, if that is the case then which technology I can choose. Suggestion are highly appreciated.

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

I hold a 3 yr experience in QA, and I tend to be the favourite tester/Quality Analyst for my clients as well. Before that I was a flutter developer for 4 months and i enjoyed development. I continued to work on flutter in my free time in parallel with QA tasks. But i have no written proof or experience in flutter. I left it after 1 year as managing both were difficult. I want to start picking flutter again, but somewhere I think I would not be an efficient developer as I'm an efficient and a good QA. Can someone please help me here? Help me to understand if i should pick flutter or not? N if I should, will I get a higher pay than I am receiving today? Thanks!
