Great video mate. I look forward seeing more

[@thetestlead]

Thank you I appreciate the support!

[@Benanaz1818]

Thank you for all the information. I have been soaking in all the knowledge you have been releasing to help others grow. I just signed up to Careerist. Also purchased your book. Thank you

[@thetestlead]

Thanks, I will keep you posted

I am a QA Manager now and for almost 3 years. Bout to get my Bachelor Degree in Science Public Health Management.

[@thetestlead]

Let me know if you would like to do an interview talking about your QA journey to becoming a Manager

Thanks for details for QA roles

thank you for actually using real life examples as you explain what a QA does!

Thanks for the feedback and support!

[@jasondiaz3231]

@Thetestlead, I love all the content you have been putting out about the QA field. Any chance I can connect with you one on one? I am learning more and more about this field and slowly getting ready to get into it as I close out my previous field of work. Any chance you are willing to mentor someone on their journey? Also, when you say you have a course coming out in March, will it be more like a bootcamp that you are providing? I hope to hear from you, I love all these videos you put out. I am also waiting to see how your QA journet began. Thanks again!

[@thetestlead]

Yeah email me at [e-mail]

I'm also looking for your Manual QA course on the website and "can't find it." I signed up for the newsletter as well.

[@thetestlead]

Thanks for the support, it should be out mid May. I'll make a video about it as well as send an email out on my newsletter

[@jerica5425]

Hey, how’s it going ? Just wanted to say I’ve recently come across your channel and I’m loving it so far! Very interested in the QA Tester field. I did have one question though, I checked out your site for the course, I wanted to know does your program include projects that the students can be hands on with ? Like, something we can use on our resume as experience ? Thanks in advance! Looking forward to all the knowledge I can gain to enter this career field.

[@jerica5425]

Also, one more question. Should I be learning Java ? Or is Java not necessarily needed in the beginning stages. On job applications for QA Tester or QA Analyst I see Java and SQL are the major ones employers ask to be knowledgeable in. I see SQL is already in your curriculum, so was wondering if adding Java on my resume would give me better chances of employment ? Thanks again 🙏🏾

[@thetestlead]

Hey, I will try to answer both sets of questions. 1. At the end of the program, you will do guided walk through projects testing various websites. You will be given instructions to follow, and then once you complete it, you will add that project to your portfolio and resume, which we will also walk through how to create. 2. SQL we do cover, and I do suggest as both a manual tester and automation tester 3. Java or any other coding languages are usually related to automation testing jobs. This requires a different skillset. For regular qa engineers or manual testing, coding like this is not needed. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@jerica5425]

Thank you! I truly appreciate you taking the time out to answer each question I had in mind. Im excited, and look forward to the program.

[@jerica5425]

Yes, I did have one more question matter of fact. Upon completion of the course will your students receive a certificate? I see it states that on the site. Just wanted to double check and ask anyway, as I’m sure it would look really nice on resume. Also, just purchased your book!! Can’t wait to receive it and open it.

[@thetestlead]

@jerica5425 Yes, you get a certificate of completion, and thanks for the support! Feel free to email me with any other questions [e-mail]

[@bhft2915]

Thank you for the video. I have 0 knowledge in IT field and my English it’s not the best as well but a remote work it’s what i really need.if you would help me make a decision to start with Qa manual or just go with SDET in first time 🙏 and does my English will be an obstacle for me to learn?! .

[@thetestlead]

I would suggest manual QA at first because it's easier to learn and get a job in!

[@ufukcantekeli6219]

@@thetestlead which programs should I know to be a manuel tester ? and do you suggest any udemy courses about that or any websites which can be helpful for me and for the people who think like me ?

[@thetestlead]

I'll try to make a video next month with everything you need to know if you want to go the self taught route

[@Ohioskinsfan]

What are the best and cost effective Manual QA bootcamps out there? I'm new to the IT world and Manual QA is what I want to do.

[@thetestlead]

There's a video on my channel discussing what I feel are the top manual QA bootcamps last year. I can't speak on it fully this year because I work with 1 of the bootcamps now so I am slightly biased. I will also have a manual QA course coming out before May is over

[@phoenix-34]

Have you started your Bootcamp yet and if so with whom? I’m looking to get started soon but it’s a lot of info. I like Test Pro and Tech Academy but I am told this is one that can be self taught.

[@GT-hk8dy]

Really thinking of going the master's route. I can't get an interview or a bite back.. not sure how to make myself more marketable or get companies/recruiters interested since I've only been doing manual testing.

[@thetestlead]

Do you want to go further into the manual route or cross over into automation?

[@GT-hk8dy]

@@thetestlead definitely automation and SDET, currently studying for that now

[@thetestlead]

@@GT-hk8dy do you currently work at a company right now doing manual testing?

[@GT-hk8dy]

@@thetestlead Yes, but they're not ideal and the project I've been on is very disorganized. Trying to find a much better company

[@thetestlead]

@G T there's pros and cons of the ways of learning automation(university, bootcamp, self taught). Does your current company have an automation team?

[@Kareninapk.]

Can I apply to Carrierest if I don't live in the US?

[@thetestlead]

I believe so. They have career advisors on their website that you should be able to speak of free of charge to ask any specific questions

[@noeland8129]

Im currently a manual QA. Headed towards automation. How much coding do I have to know?

[@romeemperor]

Selenium,Cucumber BDD,Jenkins, API , SQL I think you should know for Automation

[@noeland8129]

Thank you

[@thetestlead]

@Noel And Find an object-oriented programming language like Python,Java, or C# and learn the basics. Most jobs use 1 of these 3 and once you know 1 you can easily pick up 1 of the others because the high level concepts are the same
