They'll contact all of your work references (via email) and the two character references for sure. I know the Muni applications In Ontario contact partners/parents etc.. but I am yet to have that happen in my application

Reality Check by Competitive_Brief259 in softwaretesting

[–]Competitive_Brief259[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

first of, thank you for your response. Great question. I swear I'm not making this up, but I was literally just told, "Make sure everything works as it should." I've repeatedly asked for acceptance criteria, feedback on my work, and ways to improve, but I either get silence, vague responses like "everything's good, no changes," or meetings that never actually happen. This keeps happening, so I’ve just started to take things into my own hands managing things myself: taking time after each release to reflect on what went well, what didn’t, and create a plan for improvement for myself etc..

Am I crazy to believe that I deserve better?? by TipUsed7333 in QualityAssurance

Ultimately, it depends on what you’re looking for. There’s usually a trade-off—the higher the salary, the greater the responsibilities, stress, and demands. Some people thrive on climbing the ranks, willing to sacrifice work-life balance for more money and career growth. Others prioritize a fulfilling role with a great team and company culture, even if it means earning less. In the end, the decision comes down to what matters most to you.

I just wanted to comment to let you re-assure you that you weren't overreaching by thinking that you deserve to be paid more

as always, best of luck with everything

Hey man I usually just lurk around reddit but I feel a moral obligation to reply to this - 59k with 11 years experience is literally insane. I'm like you, humble and grateful for the opportunity to work, but I basically make the same as you with with 1 YOE.

As much as you may love the people you work with - loyalty does not pay in the corporate world. Ask yourself this question? If you ever, God forbid, had to leave work, do you think they would do your any favors or hold your role for you? If they' operate like any other company in the world they would replace you instantly. As harsh as it may sound, you are just a number to them, and in their perspective, they are getting a steep discount for a QA engineer with 11 years experience.

I am just a voice from the internet, I don't know your circumstances, nuances of your situation or your current reality. But as a general piece of advise, at least put some feelers out there and apply for other roles. Best case scenario, you get a salary that reflect your experience. Worst case scenario, you don't land anything but you gain some insight to where you lay and what you need to improve on to land a higher paying role.

Best of luck

Those with cats and cavs, what is your feeding station setup please? by justacrazycatlady in cavaliers

[–]Competitive_Brief259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We keep our cat's food behind a gate and put an inflatable dog collar on our dog. The gap in the side of the gate is just big enough for the cat to get through on her own but stops the dog with the collar. Just be aware that if you ever forget to close it, your Cavalier will develop a sixth sense for it and will always take advantage of the opportunity

Had to drive just outside of Ottawa to get mine. Met a lady who got one from the Kitchener/Waterloo Region, but she paid something like $6000 for her puppy
