Tech Job Advice | I Don't Like My Software Testing Job!
Today, I will share my tech job advice, because sometimes people say ‘I don't like my software testing job’, so we’ll discuss what happens if you land a QA job that you really don't like. In my own personal software testing journey, I've now have had five job offers and worked four jobs. My second and third positions weren't quite for me, and there were reasons why.
My first QA position was probably the best position in the world because they had their systems on point, their processes on point, the team was awesome and relaxed. I didn't have to be on camera for work all the time, so it really allowed me to step into that role, especially as a newbie, and especially as being remote and to get my hands on the job more confidently, versus if I had to step into a job where I was constantly on camera. So, my first position really allowed me to step into QA, and that's not always the case for the first QA job, or for any first job when you're transitioning into something new.
At the start of their employment, software testers are usually quite excited. However, as the learning curve is reached, they lose interest in their work, or it’s just not a good fit. They quickly become bored with writing the same Bug reports and running the same test cases over and over or they don't feel challenged. Almost all testers, at some point in their careers, have felt the same way. Some experienced testers, in particular, do not find their work to be challenging or creative.
If you ask any experienced developer, they would tell you that development work is tedious. You can't seem to stop doing things since they appear to be monotonous. Our entire lives consist of a series of monotonous jobs, so if you land a QA job that you really don't like, you'll need to come up with new ways to achieve the same tasks. Once you've figured out what's causing the problem, you can start looking for a solution.
Software testing is the process of determining whether or not a program satisfies its stated business requirements. It is a procedure for identifying software flaws. Its goal is to provide high-quality products that are free of faults and flaws. For some, the QA profession is a good one to pursue, whereas for others, Software Testing is not a suitable fit. For various reasons, many QA professionals express dissatisfaction with testing. To become a software tester, you'll need a variety of skills, including strong technical abilities, excellent written and verbal communication, strong analytical, and logical abilities. To become a software tester, one must maintain a positive attitude at all times and be enthusiastic about pursuing software testing as a career.
