Moved from manual QA into automation and it feels like the slow way in

Anonymous13 days ago

Two years of testing, and I'm finally writing code in the framework. Everyone I know who went straight to dev seems ahead of me. The QA years taught me to find bugs fast, I just don't know how to make that land in a dev interview.

I moved from QA into SDET and what helped most was owning a flaky test suite end to end. Nobody else wanted it, and it gave me something concrete to talk about in interviews.

The bug-finding instinct is your story. In a dev interview I'd talk about a bug the developers didn't expect and how you narrowed it down. That shows the QA years counted for something.
