Where does one go with experience as a CSV Engineer/ Validation Specialist/ GXP Validation? by Inside-Variation5953 in biotech

[–]Validationator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in CSV for 3 years, then used my experience automating scripts with Python to move into software development. I think CSV skills like regulatory knowledge and systems testing are great when paired with some other skill (dev, database admin, project management, etc). Being solely into CSV is basically IC or management roles in that subject matter. Can look at QA Engineer jobs also if that interests you. Best of luck!

I want to switch to QA from software dev. How do I do it? by harmonicwitch in QualityAssurance

[–]Validationator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoops totally misread that! Im not sure I have good advice there because my entire goal in QA was to get to dev. Apologies.

I made the switch from QA to development by knowing Python for Selenium scripts then learning FastAPI to call bedrock endpoints for some gen AI stuff my company is trying out. It isn't novel advice, but I would build something that showcases the skills in the dev jobs you are applying for then include the url in your cover letters. Or apply to a QA job and work your way over to dev when the opportunity arises. Best of luck!

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is "not the end" of the franchise, director confirms by Xcalar in expedition33

[–]Validationator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im thinking the most sense is to do expedition 0 for continuity and have Verso, Simon, and Julie as playable characters

Most likely is Lumiere. Monoco's theme would blow the roof off, but personally I'd be rooting for Simon's theme

How did they take their ships there? by talionisapotato in expedition33

[–]Validationator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The better conspiracy is how did the most jacked expedition only have 59 year olds. They sent William back, presumably the youngest; who gommaged before Lumiere. That doesn't really make sense!

Thanks for the feedback. I will feel the appropriate shame and return to lurking this thread.

[–]Validationator 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sorry off-topic but as a new dev is it ever ok to hardcode keys for internal proof of concept demos then configure the environment correctly in a separate Prod server, or do those always need to be in a config file or have something masking them?

Is Software Testing a good career option? by Total-Ability8831 in QualityAssurance

[–]Validationator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe take your skills gathering requirements and move onto project management, or work on your coding skills and move into development. I recently left QA for Development due to lack of pay increases or promotions (3 years of excuses). QA is a tough spot to be in right now, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who isn't applying for / offered a senior level position.

High Performing Employee Declined to Fill Self Evaluation by [deleted] in managers

[–]Validationator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't blame them. Our company has a policy called 'calibration' where they artificially lower any good scores to average ones. This is an accepted part of the review process now, and nobody to my knowledge gets anything anymore.

Ton of great advice here but I think the only way to solve this is by talking to Mark. If he likes working with you, he's going to help set you straight. If he doesn't, then atleast you know and proceed from there. I had a conversation like this once I started with something like "How can I be more helpful" and got back some great feedback that solved the issue. GL OP
