Hello… Can someone guide me in this. I’m a mechanical engineer working in telecom design sector. And have 3 years of experience as Fiber designing field for American clients. Due to less switching options in India want to switch my field as an Automation tester. Is it possible to switch if I learn automation testing from the reputed institute?
You can switch but be careful of the institutes which says 100% placement as this institutes are not able to placed their candidates. Also if you are currently working then my suggestion would be that you can learn automation testing if you are interested but don't leave your current job unless you get a job in testing.
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊 I’m glad to hear the content is helping the QA community. Your support means a lot and keeps me motivated to bring more valuable insights to everyone. Let’s continue growing and learning together
If you enjoy coding, problem-solving, and want to work in development-related roles, choose software testing, especially with a focus on automation. If you're more inclined towards operational tasks, troubleshooting, and cloud infrastructure, application production support is a better fit.
many people spoiled their careers having worked in testing. Wonder people still glorifying. Testers are still in demand; It will give a job, not a long and good career. I have tones of tales of who lost jobs thereby careers. The irony is that testing demands many skill sets, one should be as super coder as well, more than a developer, in spite of that no career!!!
True about other careers. But in testing one don't upgrade, he will horizontally shift from tool to another that is not upgrading!!! If you remember, there was Winrunner, --> Rational --> Silk test --> QTP --> Selenium etc... now they need AZURE, AWS, TOSCA, unix, java, DevOps, python etc....Come on!!!. Some one who can automate suing selenium will definitely have a capability, and analytical skills, to work on ABAP, PL/SQL [Oracle ERP], COBOL, AS/400, Data warehousing, BI, on any ERP functional module. There are many careers where in there is little upgrading is sufficient i still see ABAP, SAP SD, Oracle EBS jobs that need 15 years exp, i still see Oracle ERP tech [PL/SQL] that need 15 years exp, i still see Main Frames 15 years exp jobs etc.... If you learn a technology it should support at least for 15 years, with a little upgrade. The irony is that people who don't have any programming or Tech background has settled well than the automation testers that have CSC background and super coders. For example people who learnt SAP SD, MM, BASIS, Oil&Gas, various Oracle ERP modules working with big supply chain and retail brands and many settled in abroad. Automation testing is a career killer; It needs a high sill and a tech degree as well. At least, manual testers turned to BAs and Product owners, product managers etc.... i have many sad tales that i call tell about, yester year testers that i have seen very closely.
@@SimplyAutomateWithSiddharth It is true about other careers. But in testing one will shift horizontally from one tool to another. This is not upgrading. All previous experience will be flushed off. If you remember there was Winrunner --> Silk test --> Rational robot --> QTP--> Selenium --> now they are asking AZURE. AWS, java, puthon, unix, devops and many....come on!! In spite of having all these, career will come to an end once you get 10 years experience. Companies rarely need testers that are more than 10 years workex. They are costly. Tones of testers were laid off. Some one who can do test automation can do ABAP programming, PL/SQL on ORACLE ERP, SAP ERP, Data warehousing, BI, COBOL, AS/400 etc..; automation testers are using their skills in a wrong line where in they end up loosing career. On the other side, people who don't have any tech degree or little or programming knowledge are doing good and settled abroad with SAP ERP -MM,SD, ABAP, Oil&Gas, BASIS, HANA, Oracle FICO, SCM, BI etc... Once you learn any app it won't change much, hardly a 20% upgrade. There are many well educated guys who spoiled careers in testing line. At least manual testers, once they gain some experience shifted into BA, to Product owner to product manager roles. Automation testing is high investment [many skills needed] and low returns business. The worst part is by the time you have school going kids you loose your job. because average career span is 10 years!!! after that nobody need tester, and it is difficult to switch to other technologies, though not impossible, after gaining experience.

Hi Siddharth
Could you please do a podcast for job opportunities for testers in europe? This would help people who are looking for jobs outside India
Sure. Thank you so much for the suggestion and I will try to do the podcast for the same 😊
Hi Siddharth please make a video on ETL testing and it's scope and future
Thank you so much for the suggestion and I will definitely make a video on it 😊
How to manage fake experience can you make video for it.
Sure. Thank you so much for the suggestion and I will definitely make a video on it 😊

Sir apne session ni bnaya I requested to you
How to learn automation from non IT and manual and who does not known coding
Actually aapka question aaya tab tak multiple podcast ho gaye the. I will cover this in my new podcast :)
@@SimplyAutomateWithSiddharth no issues
👍
Which career is best opportunities in current scenario software testing vs application production support???
If you enjoy coding, problem-solving, and want to work in development-related roles, choose software testing, especially with a focus on automation. If you're more inclined towards operational tasks, troubleshooting, and cloud infrastructure, application production support is a better fit.
@@SimplyAutomateWithSiddharth but future perspective and more career opportunities which career is best
According to me, its software testing as more focus will be on automation.
@@SimplyAutomateWithSiddharth ok brother

But in every career, you need to keep upgrading your skills otherwise you won't have a long and successful career. It's not only for Testing.
