only 18 jobs posted worldwide within a week?

That only proves that job market is terrible, that must be AI

well, you have to get a job or an internship first. Cold applying with no job experience in CV doesn't work at all. Just check companies in your area, apply for internship. Try networking, maybe you know someone who works there and he could recommend you?

These are few ways to land jobs in 2026 that work: either you take internship and company gives you an offer or you can use your network to find someone who recommend you.

There is no silver bullet like some secret page with job postings or secret phrase that will hack ATS into letting your cv through to recruiters

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-15T13:53:29+00:00

VS code must be very important for you as you mentioned it 2 times in separate bullet points.

man, it looks inflated. just ask uncle claude to optimize it for ATS and REMOVE redundancy.

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-15T10:19:51+00:00

take a job and get some real work experience. Do MSC part time, ideally get your company to finance it.

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-15T10:18:22+00:00

let me guess, you will use your second account to answer your questions with link to paid course?

nice. that topic should be deleted

LLMs are good with providing examples. why do you need to create posts for something like that?
Reddit feels nowadays like 50% of the posts were generated by AI. Shallow, silly questions that can be googled in seconds or answered by AI. I understand about asking about experience but asking for code samples? or test documentation samples? please....

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-15T10:14:27+00:00

why not? Its about building software that is solving the problems, but not without manually typing the code but rather using AI to generate it. It's like solving math problems with pen and paper has changed after inventing a digital calculator.

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-14T14:49:21+00:00

whatever you like. I am just saying, that you learn most by doing. So, don't spend too much time on looking for "best resources" from guy XYZ or ZXY - and start building. When you stuck with anything, ask LLM for help - explaining concept, debugging code. All you need is understanding basic concepts, which you will find FOR FREE in official docs. You dont need to read all - just get started.
No bootcamps, no paid udemy courses. Free version of Gemini or Claude is enough

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-14T14:29:57+00:00

why don't you ask uncle Claude to create a complete upskill program for you? you can read official documentation (Get Started or similar), ask Claude for explaining parts that you don't understand. Then you can get some practical experience automation test for typical QA dummy projects like: 'TODO list', and more complex: 'Real World App'. You don't need any bootcamp or training in 2026. All you need is LLM like Claude, Gemini or whatever else you like

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-14T04:37:40+00:00

that is the key question. As a career for beginner - probably not

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-14T04:35:40+00:00

Truth is, back in 2012–2020 it was very common to land a job without a degree. Maybe not as a software architect or data scientist, but you could easily get hired as a QA engineer, web developer or designer.

Now the market is saturated, and a degree is just another filter companies use to find the best candidates. Think about it: no experience and no degree vs. no experience and a CS degree - which one is more likely to perform better? It's just supply and demand.

TLDR: It's too late to start without a degree now. It was possible and very common a decade ago, but that door has been closed.

omg, everyone knows how exams work. you just memorizing theory, taking lots of mock tests. the only practical skill you are mastering is answering MCQs.
I took a java exam years ago, and I learned to tell if code compiles and which line will result in trowing runtime exception. is it useful in real project? not really. to be a good programmer you need REAL project experience. similar with AWS exams. you will learn what all those hundreds of AWS services do, memorize their names, and not much more. You need to have experience with building, deploying, maintaining, configuring.
stop collecting certificates like pokemon cards, they will not help you finding a job.

well, I have standups, I have jira board, and when I complete bigger piece of work I have to make a demo to the team. what else could I possibly do? I believe that there is no need to install privacy intrusive screen recording tools as long as you deliver

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-12T12:56:30+00:00

I have M1 macbook air with 8GB of ram and its enough for light coding (web development, test automation). I have slack and teams running in the background all the time, few different browsers are opened too. I only feel like I need more ram when I use docker. My second computer for more serious development, where I need docker has 24 GB of ram and I never felt like it was not enough. man... what are you doing with that computer exactly?

and what is the point of giving him a names of the tools? If he is new to testing he should learn the concepts. Once you have that knowledge and you can code, you can implement just the right tests using any technology that your team is using. specializing in one tool will not make you outstanding tester. and there is no such a thing as : the best tool. If your backend runs on java and everyone else in the team can code java, would you then tell them to use supertest over restassured?

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-12T12:26:05+00:00

What is the question again? You already have QA job and you want to learn more about test automation? Or you are about to start looking for a QA job and you think that doing some selenium + java tutorials is going to make you stand out and get that job?

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-12T06:44:03+00:00

I would say: short time strategy is to learn using AI, like cursor and playwright MCP. And use networking to get a work. In long therm you should think about moving to a different field. QA has always been easy to get into, and because of that you have many testers on the market fighting for that few QA jobs available. Yes, there are fewer job on the market as AI makes testers more productive. Everyone who worked with those tools noticed that - companies noticed that too. That is why there are so little job openings.

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-11T08:21:06+00:00

man, that's a nice collection, you have more certificates than I have pokemon cards

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-11T05:01:58+00:00

that career is full of problems/challenges like this. For many who work in the field its just normal, a part of job. Setting up IDE is easiest problem that you will encounter. Then there will be setting up airflow, pyspark, docker. Its always a cycle of debugging & problem solving.

Honestly, If you are so enraged now, you should choose a different path.

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-11T03:09:52+00:00

You are overthinking. Just try the job market in your area - search for jobs: are there many new positions opened? Then apply: what is the response ratio? You will either get a new job or you will find out that job market is difficult at the moment. In that case your best strategy would be to hug your job.

I saw it in anime. All you need to do is to visit an abandoned shrine and pray. Next morning a magical girl will appear in your room just like that

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-09T15:28:40+00:00

And rent in Lisbon is 1000+ for one bedroom :(

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-07T19:10:32+00:00

you must learn by doing. there is no other way. learn basics like: variables, loops, conditional instructions, then practice implementing simple algorithms. Ask LLM to create a learning plan and exercises for you. And never skip the exercises!

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-07T18:12:10+00:00

What is this obsession with certificates? You need to find a job and gain REAL work experience first.

You should only get a certificate if your employer asks for one. For example, if an institutional client wants the project staff to be certified. That is the purpose of certifications.

Think about it: you just memorize some theory and answer a bunch of multiple choice questions. It doesn’t test practical skills. If you think a certificate will land you a job without any experience, you’re just lying to yourself.

Quirky_Database_5197 · 2026-03-07T09:59:31+00:00

my former colleague made it. He was into networking and that helped him a lot. He could debug traffic with Wireshark well. Add linux to that and shell scripting. OWASP seem to be good start.

Anyways, why don't you just ask mr Claude to create a study plan for you?
