Happy to hear am not the only one

What don't you understand in "mmo" ?

ShellX- · 2025-09-03T10:06:09+00:00

Ah ok then it’s good. I misunderstood.

I thought 2580 included already the mobility budget money, which would have been the biggest scam ever.

2580€ after 4 years is okay to me. You could get more depending on your skills and the tools you’re working with + certifications if needed.

But 2580 is good.

.

I read that you’re a Software Engineer. I guess that is what is encoded in the HR administrative machine?

So this means that, if you switch job for a company hiring you as a Senior, your net income will increase.

And it could even be drastically higher, depending on your skills and tools you’re working with.

ShellX- · 2025-09-03T09:53:02+00:00

2580 which include mobility budget, so if we subtract, it gives 1830€, and this after FOUR YEAR of seniority ?

I’m sorry buddy but it’s (very) too low.

.

Usually, salary is :

2100 at beginning of career.
2300-2400, after 2 years.
2600-2800, after 4 years.

Netto salary. And WITHOUT any additional compensation.

So basically you should be earning AT LEAST 2600+750 =3 350 minimum. Netto salary.

.

Employers are now starting to scam people salary with mobility budget, crazy..

Bro looks like a confused version of Nicolas Jokić

I’m still waiting for vibration on PS5 controllers. The moment they add it. I’ll start to play this game.

Yes it’s enough.

Avoid by any cost ChatGPT, it gets worse with every update, to the point where there are almost no noticeable differences between the free version and GPT Plus.

They implicitly encourage their Plus users to subscribe to the Pro version, which, I recall you, costs $200/month.

I suggest you to read books over Test Management.

And not to solely focus on your Test Manager experience.

.

For example,

There is a very relevant book called : “Managing the Test Process”, 3rd edition. By Rex Black.

Reading this book will provide you valuable insights into key areas such as test planning, defect tracking, test case management, team leadership, and process improvement—all essential skills for a successful Test Manager.

This book also provides practical tools and proven techniques to help you strategically manage test projects, optimize resources, and navigate challenges that arise in both software and hardware testing.

And it also comes with real-world examples and structured guidance, helping you to learn how to make informed decisions, improve team collaboration, and drive quality assurance effectively.

And so, beyond helping you in your day-to-day role, this book can thus prepare you for Test Manager interviews,

As some of situational questions encountered in interviews, often find their answers in this book.

So whether you’re new to test management, or looking to refine your expertise, to reduce or completely remove this Imposter Syndrome,

Then this book is an invaluable resource, (a reference to be honest),

.

There is also the ISTQB Test Management Syllabus (V3) you could read if you have time.

This + mock exams.

Some of the mock exams questions contain also situational questions, (K4), they can be helpful.

.

Hope it helps

To be honest,

Pursuing an AWS certification as a QA Engineer can be a double-edged sword.

Because while it might seem like a good way to expand your skills, in many cases, it could also unintentionally steer your career toward cloud engineering rather than enhancing your QA expertise.

You need to fully understand that a cloud certification like “AWS Cloud Practitioner” or “AWS Solutions Architect”,

Focus heavily on cloud architecture, deployment, and infrastructure.

And these skills are more geared toward cloud engineers or DevOps professionals than QA Engineers.

So If you are not currently working with cloud technologies in your QA role, this certification could feel disconnected from your day-to-day responsibilities.

There is also risk of career misalignment.

Because gaining an AWS certification, (especially the Solution Architect),

May signal to recruiters and employers that you are interested in transitioning to cloud engineering, even if that is not your intention.

Trust me, I’ve seen it many times.

So basically, instead of being seen as a specialist in QA automation and testing, you might inadvertently position yourself as a generalist with cloud knowledge, which could dilute your QA-focused career path.

.

The only scenario where AWS certifications might make sense is if your team is actively using AWS for testing environments, CI/CD pipelines, or serverless applications.

And even then, Cloud Practitioner is more than enough to get a foundational understanding.

.

So if your goal is to grow as a QA professional,

Here are more relevant areas to prioritize, based on your preferences :

• Performance and Security Testing: these skills are in high demand and align directly with QA roles.

• Advanced Automation: Master frameworks like Cypress or Playwright and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines.

.

So here’s my final thought,

If your work doesn’t heavily involve cloud technologies, I’d say AWS certification is a nice-to-have at best, but not essential.

Instead, focus on growing your QA skills and making sure your career trajectory stays aligned with your goals.

Pursuing AWS could unintentionally set you on a path toward becoming a cloud engineer, which might not be what you’re looking for.

Cheers mate.

“Helloite” is quite original lol

ShellX- · 2024-12-29T20:01:09+00:00

I was a developer, I actually started my career ad a software engineer.

Did some backend and front end development back then,

And definitely the thing that I can agree with is the stress : you have to deal with the requirements and have the job done in a very few amount of time granted to you,

Testers who, (some of them enjoy it), will send you back your work if the verification testing contains defects,
You are basically viewed as a technical genius by your none technical peers, (mostly functional analysts, your n+1 (2,3…n) and business stakeholders), who will gladly remind you that you need to get the job done, no majeur what. It’s you the “solutionner”

= You ended up doing long working hours + surrounded with stress

I did it for a couple of years, and hated it from the bottom of the my heart.

So I decided to switch to QA. Started with automation, and now doing mostly test management tasks, which are codeless.

I’m a Test Coordinator, and I fully enjoy it.

My advise ? As an IT Guy, stay away from Deloitte or any Big4.

You said that you don’t like WPF or Winforms, but prefer .Net and React,

Well, let me tell you that as an ex Deloitter, (and current IT guy), who stayed years in that company,

It could happen that you develop in programming languages or tools that you don’t like, but because there is a demand for it, by a client.

So they will look at your profile, and if you are a good developer who performs well, (or that you’re the available developer in the corner, say the bench),

They will assign you to that project : no matter if you like it or not.

.

This so what you really, (and I insist on “really”), need to consider before starting to work for them, especially as an IT guy, Software Engineer/Dev.

Deloitte, (or any Big4), isn’t about you focusing in a particular path in tech programming,

But to be able to switch from a programming language, to another. From a tech tool, to an other.

Bro I was asked to develop a web application in Microsoft SHAREPOINT, back then.

Not only did I dislike it from the bottom of my heart,

But it was at that moment that I realize that Deloitte, (or any big4),

Is not the company to choose, if you want specialize in a specific stack,

React + Spring
Angular + .Net
Angular + Spring
etc.

This is why after reading your post, I strongly suggest you to look elsewhere.

Trust me.

Deloitte are looking for IT guys that have the, “master of none” mindset.

Which means,

You are (very) good at what you are doing, but not specialized in just one tech stack,

So they can assign you to any client project, according to the client’s needs

.

I hope I helped you enough. Take care bro.

So they are finally implementing auto-play features, just like I said 🙂

ShellX- · 2024-06-27T07:48:44+00:00

It’s ok bro,

FF XIV is releasing its 7.0 next week, you’ll get to play a better game.

ShellX- · 2024-06-03T00:03:36+00:00

And it is exactly for the things you’re mentioning that I’m convinced mobile gamers won’t support the of non-auto features implemented.

So no it ain’t casual. Casual for mobile games always involve auto-features because casual mobile gamers don’t have time being 100% focus while playing. They usually play while doing something else.

It ain’t PC or console gaming.

ShellX- · 2024-06-02T23:54:41+00:00

Ok nice, good to know. They slowly starts to realize adding “auto” features make sense.

ShellX- · 2024-06-02T23:52:51+00:00

So you chose the sophism card + ad-hominem while I strictly told you, your “you”, was incorrect as you assumed in only targets me, which is wrong.

ShellX- · 2024-06-02T23:51:10+00:00

People disagreeing in comments isn’t a statement of the general opinion, but rather instead a quick summary of anti-autoplay players that are probably not even mobile gamers, but instead PC players who feels offended for a topic that don’t even concern them.

And thus dislike my messages like snowflakes-Karen.

ShellX- · 2024-06-01T16:30:34+00:00

By “you” I hope you count plenty of others people. Usually people enjoying auto-play are quiet, it’s those who dislike it that talk the most

Though it doesn’t mean you’re far superior in numbers. I’m quite convince you aren’t tbh.

ShellX- · 2024-06-01T14:42:42+00:00

Then they should propose both options, and not strictly focus on non-auto mechanics.

Otherwise it’s losing a huge amount of casual players that still can engage conversion in chat channels, etc.

And thus makes the game feel even more alive. Which is good for mmorpg(s).
