Very good and thorough explanation. I'm so glad I discovered the testing path. With all the hype around programming, I think it could be a secret weapon for anyone who wants to break into tech quickly.

[@thetestlead]

Definitely, honestly has the easiest learning curve and is a good starting point especially for people who want to eventually be automation testers or any other tech jobs.

[@ham472]

Thank you for the video and the breakdown of the different types of QA roles. The Software Tester role sounds the most interesting to me.

[@thetestlead]

Thanks for the support, let me know if you have any questions

[@MikeFrazier804]

Justin, where do i get that book from ? I didn’t see it online anywhere

[@thetestlead]

Thanks, it's on Amazon and my website thetestinglead.com

What about work/life balance? I’m seeing this role can be subject to "crunch". I’m 55, I don’t want to work 18 hours a day at the end of every sprint. Please comment.

[@thetestlead]

Hey, good point. This will definitely depend on the company you work for. I’ve definitely had a some long days in my career, but I’ve also worked for companies where they usually stick to regular working hours. During the interview process you can usually get an idea of the work/life balance and some will even tell you straight up “you may have some long days when there is a tight deadline” or “ we focus on employee mental health and have a hard stop at this time every day”.

[@Cl8tn0822]

Thank you for discussing this role! I think it's super helpful for developer bootcamp graduates. Seems like a good way to ease into the developer realm post-bootcamp.

[@thetestlead]

No problem, glad I can help. Part of being a developer is interacting and working with the testers and for some companies you may also be a tester. What bootcamp did you go to if you don’t mind me asking?

[@Cl8tn0822]

Sure, no problem! I graduated from Nashville Software School’s Full Stack Web Development course. It’s six months, live with two instructors each weekday for 6 hours a day. Very challenging program (at least for me it was). Our cohort learned JS with React and C# and VSCode as the IDE.

[@jaliylahjae]

Do you have a discount for Test lead course?

[@thetestlead]

Hey, unfortunately not, but I know the price is supposed to go up 10/2. Email though if you have any questions, and I can lock in today's price for you and give you time before you make a decision [e-mail]

[@jaliylahjae]

Other than price, what’s the difference between Test Lead courses and Careerist?

[@thetestlead]

Live instructor (careerist) vs self paced prerecorded classes(test lead). An internship (careerist) vs. guided projects and exercises for your resume and portfolio(test lead). Careerist has a few other bells and whistles, like the money back guarantee (TALK TO THEM FIRST FOR THE FULL DETAILS), but high level these are the main differences. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@jaliylahjae]

​@@thetestleadThank you. Is it a little more challenging getting a job with a Test lead cert, due to its self guided route? Thank you in advance.

[@thetestlead]

@jaliylahjae the course will teach you all the required information, and you will build some projects for your portfolio at the end. Having an internship at the end, like what Careerist offers, makes the job search easier. Normally, they say that once you graduate, their bootcamp people find jobs within 2-6 months of actively searching. At the end of the day, you have to try to see what's best for you, your budget(because there are 2 different costs), and learning style.

[@melcolmb806]

This guy is my live teacher in my current careerist qa course. He’s a pretty good teacher

[@thetestlead]

@melcolmb806 thanks I appreciate the feedback! Also, if you like, you can possibly help give your honest thoughts from an actual student's point of view, especially because you deal with various instructors throughout the bootcamp

[@JDMorris81]

10:05 Bruh, you got your own courses, outstanding and affordable. Why you plugging these guys?

[@thetestlead]

Some people want and need the traditional structure with a live instructor/teacher because that better helps their learning style. Also, they have an internship and other things, some people who have the extra finances, may want. So I'm just providing an extra option for them. I'll always plug my own stuff, too haha but didn't want to make this just an advertisement for my courses🤣

[@melcolmb806]

They are paying him to promote their boot camp. He offers self paced courses

[@thetestlead]

@melcolmb806 Yeah, exactly. I also know some people who I've interviewed on my channel earlier on who have had success with them, so I'm open to these type of collaborations on my channel for those who it may be a fit for. But if I start getting a bunch of negative feedback about a company that I collaborate with, I discontinue business with them.
