Being a manual QA Engineer is one of the easiest ways to break into the tech field. Becoming a QA Manual Test Engineer is a journey. Just like with any other journey, having a map with directions can help you reach your goals faster. This video will breakdown and be a guide to how you can enter the field.

The different destinations on this map will include

  • Being realistic
  • Learning the skillset
  • Getting experience
  • Applying to jobs
  • Starting your new job

Being Realistic

The first and most important part of this process is to decide if this career is best for you.

Look at expected salary ranges

Use websites such as Glassdoor and Google to see salary ranges for manual QA engineers. In a perfect world we would all get remote jobs, but just starting out this may be harder, so for now just search for jobs in your state. Make sure to start with 0–1 year experience because this is roughly what you would be expecting to make when you start out.
