During this period of time, the company was short of manpower for the project, and met many people, but none of them were satisfied. At the beginning, I aimed at the middle and high-level level, and I didn't expect to come to the technical experts. The salary offered was 15-25K. There were many interviewers, but the result was disappointing.
From the resume, they all have 3-4 years of work experience, but in the interview, they do not know the tools, methods and programming framework, and many of the basic skills are not proficient. Not meeting the needs of the company, there are not many meetings on framework automation testing, they all stay at the basic method level of interface testing, and there are no questions about in-depth automation, and no attention is paid to cutting-edge mainstream technologies.
However, the salary requirements of these people are all close to 20K, and they think highly of themselves during the discussion process. One in particular left a deep impression on me. The resume stated 3 years of experience, and they all did small program demonstration projects. Interviews During the process, I kept emphasizing how proficient my technology is and how it was reused in the original company. I asked about the key points, but I couldn't answer why. Finally, I recruited two fresh graduates with good potential. I hope that I can become a helper after a while.
After last year's promotion of layoffs by major Internet companies, in order to reduce costs and increase efficiency, enterprises' demand for talents is also increasing . Talking about this matter with a few friends in the circle, they also felt the same way. Technology is developing and industry requirements are getting higher and higher, but not many people take the time to improve their capabilities. Coupled with the continuous impact of fresh blood, the pressure will only increase.
The Internet is still developing, and the requirements of enterprises are also improving. Redundant and inefficient personnel will be eliminated and optimized, and excellent talents will always be favored by the company. That's why there is a scene of two worlds in the industry. On the one hand, a large number of low-end test engineers have been eliminated, their salaries have been cut, and they have been forced to change careers. The job search has repeatedly hit the wall. On the other hand, there are many test managers looking for talents everywhere. Digging . The mismatch between demand and supply makes it difficult to recruit and find employment.
However, truly capable test talents will not be affected at all, and it is easy to change jobs for development. But if you are dissatisfied with your current job and do not have enough skills, instead of being anxious and confused, it is better to calm down and improve yourself . At present, as far as the large amount of recruitment information is concerned, if you want to get a high salary, you have to know the following points:
-
Familiar with the operation ability of different operating systems and databases
-
Familiar with scripting language and have certain programming ability
-
Can monitor and improve quality and efficiency through automated testing
-
Strong analysis and design capabilities, test framework development and program integration capabilities
Therefore, it is still at the level of manual functional testing. If we do not improve the technology, we will not only face the pressure of the waves behind the Yangtze River pushing the waves ahead, but also withstand the current trend of involution in the industry. Otherwise, you can only accept the dilemma, and even face elimination in the end. Not to mention promotion and salary increase
How to go from primary functional testing to advanced automated testing development to achieve the goal of technology improvement and salary improvement is a necessary stage for many primary testers. As someone who has experienced it, I have a deep understanding of the difficulties in the process of self-improvement.
So I like to collect resources and record the process from stepping on the pit to climbing the pit. I hope that I can record what I have learned, the techniques used in actual work, learning methods, experience, and some pitfalls I have stepped on. I also hope that you, who want to improve your technical ability, can avoid some detours through my sharing, and can form a set of your own methods and apply them in practice.
This is the "Technical Advancement Route for Full-Stack Test Engineers" compiled by me . There are also many tools and videos [Network Disk Resources] . Friends who need it can scan the QR code at the end of the article to get the link to the network disk . Will definitely bring you help and direction.
1. Essential Python programming content for automated testing
2. Basic content of Web UI automated testing
3. Practical content of Web automated testing
4. Basic content of APP UI automation testing
5. Practical content of APP UI automation testing
6. Basic content of API interface automated testing
7. Practical content of API interface automated testing
8. CICD continuous integration special technology
9. Practical technology of automated testing framework
The above is a technical advancement path map for full-stack test engineers that I compiled. Complete the construction of such a technology stack. It can be said that this process will make you miserable, but as long as you get through it. Later career will be much easier. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you take the first step, you are already halfway to success. The ancients said, "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles." When you look back on this journey after completion, you will definitely be moved. a lot.
As someone who has been here, I also hope that you will avoid some detours. Here I will share with you some learning resources for automated testing, hoping to help you on the way forward.
Including, tester technology advanced path map, more than 50 days of video tutorials, 16 project examples, more than 30 test tools, 37 test documents, 70 software test related questions, 40 test experience level article sharing, and Software testing interview applet, optimized template for job application resume.
Come on, if you need to improve your technical reserves, then act, it is better to be on the road than to wait and see at the starting point. All the confusion is due to thinking too much and doing too little !
