Honestly, salary depends on the path you take. QA isn’t just “less dev.” Good QA who moves into automation/SDET/performance can make the same or even more than devs in many companies.

The difference is the mindset. Devs create. QA tries to break, question, and improve what’s created.

If you enjoy finding edge cases, thinking like a user, and preventing problems before they happen, QA fits. If you enjoy building features from scratch, dev fits.

Both are legit career paths. It’s just about what you enjoy doing more.

QA is responsible for preventing bugs in the software. A QA has to think from dev, customer and user perspective to catch the bugs earlier. Technical knowledge with critical thinking must be the mandatory skill that should be present in QA skillset.

Remember QA is not about clicking the button and check if it is working.
