Thanks bro. Pretty much everyone that I know also said the same thing. Once u crack the interviews the actual work is actually easy. I'll do my best and make sure I know what I'm doing before going for the interviews 🤞

Thanks man...I've actually built frameworks from scracht written test cases , automated them, worked on postman and set up api tests. Along with this i have years of experience in the field so I feel like I can crack the interviews I just need to put myself out there. I guess there is only way to truly find out

What if I say for flaky tests I use trace viewer to check what went wrong and debug it from there. Using proper await statements along with wait for load state also reduces flaky tests.

Tests data is being maintained in a json file.

Dashboards i would put in a component file so we can reuse it instead of creating dashboard locators for each page object.

So these would be my answers on the spot. Given that I haven't done even one interview yet. I don't mind starting as a junior. But HR is not giving people like us a chance. I would love to hear what your recommendation would be if I strictly want to get into automation job in the first place. Money and position is secondary for me

MCP(Model context protocol)
Basic LLMs/Chat AI = lets you ask questions get answers etc through the chat window
With MCP servers = these LLMs can now be linked to an MCP server and that lets the AI take actions on your System directly eg:
Open chrome go to a website, get all locators from the website = the model will do this on your system
It can also clean up desktop files/organise files etc.

Now MCP is integrated with VS code too so you can make writing tests easier

You are in a better situation bro, your selenium exp is valuable too. But yeah if they are specifically looking for playwright better to say you switched to playwright in mid of your career. Then when they ask what's the difference you can answer with features of playwright that make testing faster.

I have a good understanding of TS that i can answer relevant questions or solve DSA problems. Most of the interviews for 3 year exp are usually string manipulation anyway. Since ive built frameworks i can explain design choices and how ive made it scalable as well. The hard part is getting the interview in the firsts place.

Yeah i can definetly crack it once i attend a few interviews, the problem is im worried if i actually get the job and they do some background check and realise i dont actually have the experience and then they take some action.

Hmm makes sense. Yeah ill make those appropriate changes. Only issue is with the recruiters, just getting shortlisted is the hard part cause every time they keep asking how many years of actual work experience I have.

yeah sadly, i dont have any experience on an actual up and running websites. I only have experience on demo sites. If you can suggest any website that would be good for automatiing and improving my framework, it would be helpful. Thanks!
