During the interview, I was extremely nervous and incoherent, thinking that there must be nothing to do, but in the end I got a high-paying offer .
After work, I heard from my colleagues that the test director interviewer did not intend to hire me, but everyone around him asked him:
When will that young lady report? ...
So under the expectant eyes of everyone, the director sent out the offer with trembling hands. . . .
It is said that a girl was urgently needed to enliven the atmosphere ...
Let me talk about those things at work.
Regarding gender benefits.
When I first joined the job, the leader and colleagues really helped me a lot in quickly understanding the business , sorting out project requirements , and designing test cases . After getting started, I was basically self-reliant. I had the experience of catching bugs until 1 or 2 in the morning, and rushed forward with dark circles when I went online all night.
Surrounded by programmers, their minds are relatively simple, and no one will care too much about your gender.
It really complied with that sentence: Treat women like men and men like men. (I hope the boss doesn't see it)
PS: On the Internet, when a female programmer has a bug, the colleagues around the circle help to find it, just for a while,
Anyway, I haven't enjoyed this kind of treatment for several years of work.
However, there are also benefits.
For example, I can often have exclusive access to the luxury 6-pit bathroom on our floor, queue? nonexistent.
On March 8th, you will receive gifts, often silk scarves with no decorations, or a flower + chocolate.
About bugs
There is such a paragraph:
There was a car accident on the road. If the driver was a man, it was because he was not skilled enough.
If the driver is a woman, it is only because it is a woman driver.
This shows how much sexism there is.
If other male testers can't find the bug, the leader often criticizes it sharply.
If it is my problem, the attitude of the leader often becomes difficult to figure out. It is the kind of person who wants to criticize but dare not criticize, as if he has been wronged so much.
This status quo may be difficult to change in a short period of time.
Once, because I didn't communicate clearly about a requirement, I got in trouble. So I dragged the test director to work overtime until late at night,
The test director is a very logical person, and his logic is simple:
If a tester stabs Lou Zi, it is because he is not good at learning.
If a female tester stabbed Lou, it must be because she is a woman.
The little brother who can't get around it.
It is said that the test has a natural enemy, which is the development
Our normal workflow is: you raise a bug → develop to find the reason → develop to find code problems → develop and modify;
There are only two female testers in our group. When problems are detected, most of the time they call me, "Xiao Beikui, it's time for you to be cute." There is no problem here", "There is a problem with your environment", "Come here, you come to reproduce" or tell you a bunch of development terms, the kind that you can't understand.
Relatively speaking, it is easier and more convenient for female testers to communicate with developers, and it also saves communication costs and communication needs.
about clothing
this is my usual clothes
The director + technical manager + programmer who interviewed me are all uniform shirts.
I wasn't embarrassed at the time, I wasn't embarrassed at all ...
So after joining the company, I followed the crowd and bought a batch of plaid and striped shirts in different colors.
It is often ridiculed by girlfriends that it is a hospital gown.
Usually, I rarely put on makeup. One time, I put on makeup because I attended a friend’s wedding, and went to the company after the end.
Then when I got off work, the programmer next to me said to me: You seem to have washed your hair today?
I.....
Perhaps in their eyes, the world of code is the most beautiful. No wonder there are so many single dogs, hum~~
About being single
One thing to say, most of the people around me are single.
I don't know why, but the IT circle is probably one of the groups that get married the latest.
I have observed most of our companies in the surrounding area. Whether it is development, testing, operation and maintenance products, most of them are single and dead at home. Some colleagues don’t want to go to social activities, let alone go to departmental dinners on weekends. . .
Once a friend introduced a boy.
Thick glasses, carrying a computer bag. Walking needs to follow the mobile phone navigation all the time.
I can't even talk about football and basketball, and finally talk about technology, my eyes are shining....
So we chatted about technology for more than an hour, starting with automated testing tools, and finally talking about performance optimization,
Turn on the computer for on-site verification at the disputed part of the way,
The best friend next to me drank two big cups of milk tea, went to the bathroom three times, but didn't say a word.
She later recalled: You are not going on a blind date, you are going for an interview~~
Well, I found that the skill tree did grow quite a bit .
Believe me, the tester is very suitable for girls, come quickly, don't leave my sister alone.
