Currently I am working as an SDE - 1(8 base) in gurugram, I received an offer for an automation engineer role from Sprinklr (16.5 base). I am 2023 grad from IIIT and have a good knowledge of DSA and System Design. Some days back I received an SDE-1 offer from a Singapore stealth startup(13 base) but couldn't join them. Now I have this offer, I am still looking to switch to SDE-1 position, but due to the market situation not getting enough interview calls. So is it advisable to join an automation role and look for the SDE roles in parallel? since I believe that sprinklr tag will help me in getting the opportunities but I don't know whether my resume will be shortlisted for the SDE roles if I have an automation role in my resume. Please give your honest opinion and help me to make the decision..
Automation engineer role would be glorified way to say 'tester', that's generally looked down.
If you're willing to take risk, that's creative way to leverage the brand name but If you like development don't move roles it may become mentally taxing for you to survive 5-6 months at that role.
Yeah I like development, my current tech stack is backend using node js and I am learning and building projects related to java spring boot for getting the opportunities at top tech companies, but since my current company is not a reputed one getting a call from top tech companies is difficult, i applied through Referral in companies like Walmart , Salesforce etc but even the referral is getting rejected. So that's why I applied here for the tag.
SDE >>>>
Yes. Lesser pay than SDE but more WLB/peace.
No don't do that
In Sprinklr, Automation Engineer is basically QA. Manual testing new features. There’s almost no focus on automation, I’ve seen QA Folks only doing manual testing, that’s it. I don’t see it working well in long run, if you want to be in Software “Development”
