Build robust software and ensure quality through collaboration with software, QA, and testing professionals.

Engineering - Software & QA

I am currently holding 9 years of IT experience in QA Automation and Testing. I have experience in testing and developing automation frameworks for API and UI. Also, I have experience in performance testing using JMeter. In my current organization I am getting 21 LPA with 2.5 years completed. What should be the market price or what is the maximum CTC I can expect if I switch now??

Trying to switch holding 9 years of experience

Recently I was going through a placement process of a company ( From Big 4 )  and their whole process was worst... You know why? 

See, 

1) Almost every student used chatgpt for coding like just imagine how bad their security process.. 

2) They selected Students with 0 code and rejected students who have done 2 codes. 

3) In the interview they are asking girls " write a code for finding greatest of three numbers " and for boys they are not at all responsive or reactive... Why the hell they took this placement process if they are not interested to take

Career suggestion

Clocking 14-hour days might sound like the ultimate dedication, but at what cost?

This techie’s story is a harsh reminder of how overworking can damage the very things we work so hard for. The Rs 7.5 Cr promotion is impressive, but the toll it took on his personal life? Heartbreaking. His wife filed for divorce, and his success feels hollow.

Here’s why 14-hour days and 90+ hour weeks don’t work:

1️⃣Health deteriorates: Physical and mental burnout are inevitable.
2️⃣Relationships suffer: Time is the currency of love and connection.
3️⃣Long hours ≠ Better results: Productivity declines after a certain point.

Success isn’t about being the last one at your desk or working yourself to exhaustion. It’s about finding balance achieving your goals without sacrificing your well-being and loved ones.

Remember: Life doesn’t pause for promotions. Make time for what truly matters.
