SDET to Dev (preferably)

SDET to Dev (preferably)- Grapevine

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

Clearing interviews without actual work experience

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 !!

How to switch ?

I have 2 years of experience in Manual Testing. 
I took a break (personal reason) along with that I had joined scaler. 
Now, I can’t seem to solve DSA questions properly. 
Talking about languages like : Java, JS(vanilla, react, node) is fine. 
What do I do to get a job ASAP ???

Guidance PLEASE

QA or Developer

Software Test - QA

I am a JAVA backend dev, currently in TCS with 5.5 yrs of exp. I want to switch to a Product now. My dev skills are good. I have worked in few projects. With this many years of exp, the expectations are too high now, System Design, Kafka, Jenkins, Docker and DSA on top of that. I don't know how to start, once I start preparing DSA I feel like I am missing on reading system design and other stuff. Also, I don't feel confident about my DSA skills. Are there any devs here who were very bad in DSA but are very confident now. Please share your experiences in comments. Since I already have so many years of exp, this is my last chance to switch to a good product company. Please guide.

I want to switch from an automation engineer to a dev role, I have 1.8 yr experience.current ctc 20L . How should I go about it. Would love to hear some opinions on the same. Thank you

Want to switch from QE to DEV

Have an offer from a growth stage startup for SDE Intern.

Subsequently, also an offer from Fintech PBC.

Tech stack at Startup: Java, Spring, MongoDB 

Tech stack at Fintech PBC: Testing framework and tools

Startup stipend: 25K 

Fintech PBC stipend: 60K

My inclination is more towards the SDE role purely because of the wide exposure while the money at Fintech is too good for now but there is not much room from growth and also with Al taking over.

Help me make a decision!

SDE Intern vs SDET Intern

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I am looking for changing company after 5 yrs, target was big companies like Amazon, MS, Salesforce ,  gave few interview in small companies recently but failed in that badly.
I am anxious right now.
I have brushed up with basic array and string programs and framework creation of UI(selenium) + backend(restassured).
Is there anyone who can guide me what topics I should prepare for the lead QA SDET interview.
1. How many string and array related problem should I do and what should be difficulty level?
2. Is there any other data structure should I prepare?
3. What practice website should I prepare for Programming questions?

Anxious for QA interview after 5yrs

I have 6 YOE as QA. First 3 years I was into manual testing and now since past 3 years, I am an SDET with tech stack- python, pytest , playwright, selenium. I am planning for the job switch now. I have not used much of DSA in my work. However I understand DSA is a must to clear interviews. 

I need help in preparation. From where and How to start the preparation? 

Please update your strategies , so that it will be helpful for all those preparing for interviews.

Need help! DSA strategies!

Stuck in QA role

Test Engineer

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?

Customer Experience

My company is going to fire me and i dont have enough skills to get hired. I have switched from QA to Development. But my logical skills are not upto interview level. What should i do and i have a month time?

Getting fired

Why AMA?-
New to GV. I see potential here; trying to gauge audience and perhaps I can talk about a thing or two; can definitely learn from ya’al otherwise.

Primer Qs (from some successful AMAs outside of GV)-
What tech has better future?
Is Ai going to kill our jobs?
How to increase Tc 5x, 10x, 20x+?
Startups vs big corps?

Background, Tc stuff-
Decade+ yoe
Started with <10Lpa. Crossed >10Lpm.
Life is fun and no amount of money is enough.
I’ve seen it firsthand that the investments and luxuries grow at far bigger rate than your comp, Can’t complain though.

Technical Support

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?
