The first thing is the salary. Even though the science grads as well as the B.E grads are doing the same work, the science grads are not even getting half of what the B.E grads are getting.

The pay for Test Professionals were literally 1/3rd of what the PAT’s would get. We did the same job as them and we were underpaid. Wish this would change.
