QA (manual) are getting phased out in organisations as now devs are expected to do the unit testing before releasing. I suggest either focusing on automation QA or switch to PM if that is something which interests you and you are ready to make that leap. A PM role is vastly different from a QA role in terms of ownership, accountability and delivery. Think through that, and make a call

Stuck in QA role

Test Engineer

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am deeply worried, to the extent of feeling depressed, about my career trajectory. I feel I made a mistake by switching tracks via doing an MBA with 10 yrs exp. I was a QA for a decade and tried a lot to break into PO roles( worked in a product based org on mobile apps for 6 years). It did not work and the director of PM advised me to do the one year fulltime MBA. Not sure why I gave in to his advice, but I gave GMAT and began with an 18 month Full time program at a Tier-1 Bschool. Cracked placement in the first go but got into IT services( not in WITCH), and now I am stuck being a PMO for a client.
Even when I look at my resume, I see a crappy profile, everything is disjointed and makes no sense now. No wonder I get no calls.
I don't want to go back to QA, this Project Management work is shitty( cannot see any learning happening, but the client is happy so I'm stuck in this project. )
I want to move to PM, thinking maybe CSPM can help, not sure where I am headed. 
Any guidance for this middle aged dinosaur 😞

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

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
