Украинская Senior QA на конкурентном рынке в США

Пишет Анонимус: «Привіт! Наткнувся на досить забавний пост, одної української Куа макаки в Амереці. Мене завжди забавляло наскільки було легко вкатитись в Ойті, чисто прийшовши кілька курсів по мануалу. А потім з такими кадрами приходилось працювати, які без flow-ів, і автоматики, строчать коменти про то що, щось-десь, поламалось без конкретики.

Досить забавно, наскількиж доступний, і хороший же був наш ринок, що він зміг виростити на собі таких паразитів, які при зіткнені з дійнсо конкурентним ринком, всього то здатні пускати сльозки.

Перевод на русский (от автора — прим.ред.):

Привет! Я наткнулся на довольно смешной пост, одной из украинских Куа макак в Штатах. Я всегда угорал от того, как легко было вкатиться в Ойти, чисто пройдя несколько курсов на мануала. А нам потом приходилось работать с такими кадрами, которые без flow-ов и автоматизации писали комментарии под тасками о том как что-то, где-то, отвалилось без конкретики.

Довольно забавно, как нашое Ойти было когда то доступным, что в свою очередь смогло вырастить на себе, таких паразитов, которые, столкнувшись с конкурентным рынком, способны только пускать слёзы.

«I cannot find a job with 8 real years of experience because of “professionals” with fake experience.

Please share this post.

I’d like to share my pain regarding job searching in the USA job market. Over the past five months, I’ve been diligently seeking opportunities as a QA Engineer and I am pretty sure that one of the reasons why I still haven’t gotten it is because a lot of people who just passed the 6-9 months QA course applied to all QA positions in the market. They were taught how to create a perfect resume/cover letter with 5 fake years of experience; they were taught how to perfectly answer questions on the interview. They apply for over 100 jobs per day (it is a real number); they can pass a background check because they provide a fake mobile number where someone from their school is always ready to confirm that this person has real experience. But they don’t have this experience! How do I know it? I spoke with a lot of them, I watched their blogs and QA course channels. There are really a lot of them!

I already know some examples when these “entry-level professionals” without experience get a job for Mid-Senior level, so I don’t understand why I have to compete with such people.
I don’t say that it is the only reason why I am still in the market, but it is one of them. Just look at how many people applied for one QA Engineer position on LinkedIn. How can I be selected from over 5000 or even 1000 applications? This is almost unrealistic given the current market, and I have already lost many opportunities because of that.
Of course, I have had final interviews, but I received feedback like “You are a really good professional, but we found someone who is better” (probably because this person knows better how to answer the questions).

There was even a case when I asked one fake-experienced person: “What did you do for a successful interview?” and this person suggested to me a paid consultation. People without experience suggest to senior specialists to pay for the consultation “How to pass the interview”. I still cannot believe this! 😐

I really think this is a significant problem in an already difficult market during a crisis.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I appreciate any insights you can share.
And I’m still fighting, and I’m not going to give up!

P.S. Please let me know if your company is looking for a QA Engineer».
