Getting fired

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?

Make QA & Dev - 2 resumes. Depending on opportunity u get, prep more on that. Or if u prefer QA then go with what you’re good at

I feel qa as one of boring task. I am able to complete my tasks 5-6 . Although it is manual tasks. But still feel in box when i work in qa. So mostly try for both the profiles.

Thanks

Do DSA for a while - no need to do competitive programming. Build moderately complex apps (like an app for image upload with form metadata followed by async jobs for resizing/processing the image and storing in local filesystem/S3) to learn development.

Put in effort to learn that, i dont see any shortcut there. Pickup any technology, try to create a small project which will help you learning the logical skills. Any crud application may work as a starter

You can easily build logical skills required for programming in a month time,

And if your case is really bad, about putting bread on the table to eat. Don't think even once before taking QA role for a while in your next company as you have experience in it. First get settle then aim for dev roles.

Apply for SDET & SDE roles at various orgs. Meanwhile do some of the standard DSA problems & some of Blind75 Leetcode problems. If you try to solve at least 3 problems easy each day you’d be a bit more confident with interviews. Besides this, try to find out companies which ask easier DSA problems or have a take home code assignment, attempt them first. In an ideal scenario you’d be able to bag a QA offer with more ease but do try to keep SDE/SDET as an aspirational role.
