[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ above poster is an idiot.

You're talking about a Quality Assurance Engineer. You need to show that you're familiar with code and have good logic skills. If you want to get into this, enroll in a hacker school for 6 weeks and take advantage of the recruiting.  [/quote]

PP was accurate.  Testers at our company were purged last fall.   And for what few are left,   I know of no americans left in testing group in our large american corporation.   Americans do not have the skills it takes now, such as speak Hindi and attend appropriate desi celebrations and have contacts at Indian colleges.   Now we hire testers from Hexaware, Cognizent, Tata.   No domain knowledge, just follow the script.  lousy pay but work twice as long.  You will work miserable hours, on call at last minute for weekend work, and be let go on a moments notice.

But don't worry, you will never get the job, these companies only hire Indians.    Software Testing was and still could be a perfect skill for entry level college graduate but our culture has given the work to large Indian firms from New Jersey to place bodies.

I worked with so many people that have started with 2 year associate degrees, worked hard, and then moved on to development or project management.   It was a great way to get a good paying job and a step in the door.   But no more.[/quote]
