[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]

He may be an idiot, but a lot of what said is true.  DW use to be a QA back in th 90's when big shops like MCI/WCOM, AT&T, Cable & Wireless, Exxon, etc actually did a lot of their development in the US.  She moved into it from technical document/business analyst/PM side of the fence.  Prior to that while in college she had taken a bunch of IT classes, and could of read code.

Now I have had testers work for me like the above poster mentioned, circa 2001, that didn't know shi**.  They were brought over here (like 70 of them ) from India by Accenture to shadow the US workers, learn the system, as said system was moving India.  This eventually led to  laying off 100+ workers that were dedicated to the company, and had worked their butts off for years. A lot of these folks had mortgages, kids in college, bills, had worked for company over 15 years - it was sad.  And this is just one example.  Think Citi, Bank of America, etc....

DW now works in cyber security, something that wouldn't be outsourced to India, at least in her company.
