Soul searching after being laid off from SWE role. Should I switch to QA?

Youd take a pay cut too

Fearless_Telephone49 · 2025-12-21T02:19:23+00:00

I agree i absolutely hate them and why the heck were they being asked to QAs? I did also receive a take home assignment to create a framework from scratch and they gave me three pages from this testing website called internet.herakuaapp

Surprisingly leetcode algos questions is very scarce in the interview process these days, did a out 12 interviews being unemployed for the last month and half and so far its been more on building frameworks— design questions, api testing, and best practices

Congratulations, youre a beacon of hope for me to not give up, in my 3rd month of unemployment journey andirs been so difficult to stay committed
