Need suggestion on career.

Hello everyone,

Posting here on behalf of my friend.

Hi, I have 3yoe and have been in a lot of testing and support project. I started my career with Capgemini. Was put in a testing project. Spent 2 years in api and ui testing. Never really learned anything as there wasn't any scope, just did what was necessary. This year switched to cognizant and got good hike. But here also I'm put in a support project . I monitor etl pipelines and if a particular pipeline fails run a couple of query to bring it up. That's all.

I wanted to know if I study Java or python and practice in leetcode will I be able to switch to a developer profile.

Current CTC 8.4 LPA YOE 3.

In long run qa isn’t a good place to be in. Most of the qa work is getting automated, and few of the companies are dumping that role.

Python or Java any of them are good, as long as they understand basic concepts.

Languages can be learnt if you get grasp of content

Since you are new to both I would suggest Python over Java. The reason is that it's easy to learn comparitive to Java and also has a lot of opportunities. Start out with a programming language and then try your hands with automation.

Slowly you will transition into a SDET or a full stack QA.

if you want to stay in QA, learn automation testing
