Video Description

⭐ Start your Web Development Journey Today πŸ‘‰ https://codecompile.ai/courses πŸš€ Need Career Guidance? πŸ‘‰ https://topmate.io/technical_suneja In this episode, we sit down with Sanchi Sharma, who shares her 10+ year journey in IT – from fresher struggles at Coforge to becoming an SDET with automation expertise. She talks about job switches due to salary stagnation, overcoming rejections, and the mindset needed to grow in testing. We also cover the real differences between manual and automation testing, challenges in product vs service companies, and a roadmap for freshers on scripting, balancing testing skills, and knowing when to switch. Finally, we discuss the impact of AI in software testing – busting myths and seeing AI as a friend, not a threat. The episode wraps up with a rapid fire on career, AI tools, and personal advice on health and self-belief. πŸš€ Sanchi's LinkedIn πŸ‘‰ https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanchi-sharma-852844107/ βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž– πŸ‘‰ Mastering React with AI From Zero to Hero with Real-World Hands-on Experience https://codecompile.ai/courses (15% Discount) πŸš€ Learn Coding Free πŸ‘‰ @codecompile7 πŸš€ Learn Coding Free on Instagram πŸ‘‰ https://www.instagram.com/codecompile_ πŸš€ Need Career Guidance? πŸ‘‰ https://bit.ly/3Dc19ke πŸš€ Connect with me on WhatsApp πŸ‘‰ https://bit.ly/3DplO4m πŸš€ π—–π—Όπ—»π—»π—²π—°π˜ wπ—Άπ˜π—΅ me on Instagram for Guidance πŸ‘‰ https://bit.ly/49zPlod βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž– Do like, share & comment ❀️ Share it with your Friends ❀️ Also, like and share ❀️ Like Aim 15000 likes! ❀️ βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž– Family ❀ ❀️ Our Family - 650,000 ❀️ Like Aim – 15000 ❀️ Subscribers Aim- 600,000 Follow me on πŸ‘‡ ⭐ One to One connect with me 🌟 https://bit.ly/3Dc19ke ⭐ π—–π—Όπ—»π—»π—²π—°π˜ wπ—Άπ˜π—΅ me on Instagram 🌟 https://bit.ly/49zPlod ⭐ Our Telegram Group Link 🌟https://bit.ly/4iCqOml ⭐Connect With me on LinkedIn 🌟 https://bit.ly/3qKCsC4 ╔═╦╗╔╦╗╔═╦═╦╦╦╦╗╔═╗ β•‘β•šβ•£β•‘β•‘β•‘β•šβ•£β•šβ•£β•”β•£β•”β•£β•‘β•šβ•£β•β•£ β• β•—β•‘β•šβ•β•‘β•‘β• β•—β•‘β•šβ•£β•‘β•‘β•‘β•‘β•‘β•β•£ β•šβ•β•©β•β•β•©β•β•©β•β•©β•β•©β•β•šβ•©β•β•©β• βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž–βž– πŸ“Œ CHAPTERS ⭐ 00:00 – Intro: AI in Testing & Myths 01:40 – Guest Intro: Sanchi Sharma (10 Yrs in IT) 03:22 – Background & First Job at Coforge (NIT Tech) 06:10 – From Fresher Struggles to 10 Years Growth 08:50 – Front-End Development Course 10:05 – How Sanchi Entered Software Testing 12:55 – First SDET Role: Automation & Teamwork 19:00 – Switching Due to Salary Stagnation 22:50 – Rejections, Coding & Motivation in Testing 26:50 – Manual vs Automation: When to Automate 29:35 – Product Experience: 11 Months at S&P Global 31:30 – The β€˜No Work’ Phase at To the New 35:55 – From Rejection to 6-Year Role via Email 41:30 – Roadmap for Freshers: Manual, Scripting & Automation 47:30 – Dev vs Tester: Defects & Respect 50:50 – 6 Years at To the New: Growth & OTT Projects 53:30 – Breaking Comfort Zone: Leaving After 6 Years 57:30 – AI in Testing: Friend, Not Threat 1:01:20 – Rapid Fire: Career, AI Tools & Myths 1:04:10 – When to Switch: Career Roadmap (2–3, 4–6, 6+ Yrs) 1:09:30 – Final Advice: Health & Self-Belief Best Life Changing Videos ft.
