Today, the "Quality Insights " newsletter in LinkedIn published an article titled "The transition from Product Manager to Software QA Engineer. Reinvent yourself! The Career Journey of Sebastian Clavijo ".
About a month ago, they contacted me and asked if I would share my journey of how I became a QA Engineer. They wanted to publish an article because they believed my atypical journey could be interesting or even inspiring for others. I was extremely hesitant at first since that journey was influenced not only by professional decisions but also by personal reasons.
After deep thought, I agreed but with one condition: I had to tell the story in my own words.
So, I wrote it as a letter to my fellow QA Engineers, and here is that letter:
I hope you find this atypical reading interesting and perhaps insightful.
Cheers!
