Quality Assurance (QA) Software Engineer
QA Engineers in Big Tech
Question:
Is QA a sustainable career, and is it still viable to get into Big Tech as a QA? Or should I get ready to LC and transition into a Dev role eventually
Background:
I'm a QA Engineer at a small start-up in London, UK. I just got a job at a large cryptocurrency exchange for a significant pay bump + bonus + (pre-IPO) equity
I graduated with a non-CS engineering degree from a top 10 uni globally, and I've been in QA now for 3 years

Would suggest transitioning to a proper dev role. Your earning potential will be much higher. Many tech companies are phasing out QA roles in place of devs just integrating testing as part of their development.

How do you feel about this movement btw? Ive seen this happen in a couple places and was wondering if QA roles are really worth phasing out in the long run
