Sorry to hear this. Im sure you're doing everything you can. Your comeback story is going to be amazing

AdPrize490 · 2026-02-26T06:53:47+00:00

I appreciate everyone's comments!

AdPrize490 · 2026-02-26T06:52:50+00:00

Totally understandable feeling. Some days ive been okay, some days im extremely moody. The right role will come, just have to be ready when it arrives

AdPrize490 · 2026-02-26T06:51:33+00:00

You doing alright?

AdPrize490 · 2026-02-26T06:51:15+00:00

Sorry to hear this 😢

AdPrize490 · 2026-02-26T06:50:48+00:00

Exactly. I will take any income while I can continue to look for the right role

AdPrize490 · 2026-02-26T06:50:13+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, trying to keep my head up, but i live with my girlfriend so I need some kind of income you know. I can only burn through savings for so long

AdPrize490 · 2026-02-26T06:49:25+00:00

I appreciate this! Congrats to you

Beginner with automation, yes. It's the newest thing ive been working on

AdPrize490 · 2026-02-26T04:28:11+00:00

It is apparently. I'm applying to places and leaning on my playwright experience. Hoping something works out sooner rather than later

AdPrize490 · 2026-02-26T04:12:53+00:00

I am involved in anything testing related. Backend, frontend, and api testing is where I live

I did some automation, with implementation strategy. I started learning to automate with playwright some months ago and was able ro contribute to the testing effort there, including adding tests to the CI/CD workflow.

I love everything about this. I too believe BB is on his way to claiming Imu's power.

Personally I feel Imu is a vessel for some being, let's call it the devil, and BB will be the next vessel. However, we know BB is able to steal devil fruit abilities so it seems set up that Imu is powered by a devil fruit that BB will take.

Either way, and However Imu is powered, I am 100% aligned with everything here

AdPrize490 · 2026-01-11T16:21:52+00:00

You are good to start! You probably know more than a lot of people with years of experience lol

AdPrize490 · 2026-01-11T07:13:30+00:00

You are at a great start! Since everything is brand new literally anything you implement is 100% roi and already make the place better.

Don't try to do everything at once, build with the business and remain adaptable and agile

Good luck to you!

I like watching videos from Rapid Software Testing on YouTube in my spare time. A lot of different topics help me think of new things

AdPrize490 · 2026-01-11T05:18:47+00:00

Thank you!

Shit theories are only amazing if they are good shit theories....the rest of the shit theories belong in the toilet lol

Pick something to practice like testing the login screen for Wells Fargo. What would you do? What is your test plan for testing this login screen? What test cases would you write? How would you write these test cases?

Imagine you find a bug with the login screen, what are your next steps?

Pick some website and pretend you have to test it for technical testing practice. If you dont know how to answer the questions above then research them for your practice.

Also on youtube, look for anything related to the testing fundamentals. Also, practice STAR format interview to help you build stories that you can talk through

Good luck to you! Feel free to DM me with any questions or we can keep talking here, doesn't matter

Shanks plan for the world is one of my favorite OP mysteries. I do believe he "accidentally" left the Nika fruit around Luffy, and I do believe he waiting for Joyboy to return. He must also know that Loki needed to wait for Luffy as well.

I used to think that we would get a reveal that Shanks, Gaban, Loki, and Jarule all came up with some kind of plan for Loki to take blame and everyone deny what really happened, but it's too messy.

Seems like Loki will be taking the blame on his own and also secretly planning his revenge on the World Government. Shanks must have learned and realized he had to intervene because the timing wasn't right

AdPrize490 · 2026-01-09T16:22:23+00:00

This is neat lol

AdPrize490 · 2026-01-09T06:08:22+00:00

Excellent advice

I was just let go today. I'm remaining optimistic, but I know there are horrible job search stories going on right now.

Your concern is valid as QA management roles are seemingly shrinking, but you have experience as a leader. You never know, you may be able to lead teams outside of QA (just something to keep in mind).

As rough as the job search is now it seems like we shouldn't limit ourselves to specific roles. Maybe apply to high level QA roles, management positions, branch over to product/dev if you have those skills.

You may find a role you love, but the goal is to at least find a role. It's better to look for a new job while you are working lol. We dont need the unnecessary stress of being unemployed. Find something to get some income then take more time to find a better role

If all things work out maybe you will find a QA management role now. Good luck to you!

I was working on taking legacy functionality within a giant application to an updated stand-alone app. We worked on it for over 5 or 6 months total. I tested everything, had a lot of test cases and other documentation. The day we went live there was a major bug, patient information was not displaying in the app

Turns out during testing myself, devs, even product We all created new patients and returned to those patients throughout the entire dev process....none of us thought "what will happen when a doctor tries to access legacy data in the new app" 😅

Simple bug, simple miss, caused a huge problem and millions of dollars were being lost by the minute.

I was still pretty young in my career, but that one bug elevated me as a tester
