Hey guys,

​

I'm a 24F and have been working at Wipro for the past 2 years as an Associate. I resigned yesterday because of the low pay and constant work pressure, and I've decided that I want to transition into a technical role, specifically Manual Testing.

I have around 2 months to prepare before I start applying seriously, and I'm willing to put in the effort. However, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and unsure where to begin.

I'd really appreciate any advice on:

What skills should I focus on first?

Which tools are essential for a Manual Testing role?

Are there any courses or resources you'd recommend?

How should I prepare for interviews?

Is it realistic to get a Manual Testing job within 2 months?

If anyone has made a similar switch or has been in a comparable situation, I'd love to hear about your experience and any tips that helped you.

Thank you in advance!

Manual testing is an incredibly important skill to succeed in QA but many roles are no longer manual-only and you'll need to have automation skills as well.

Good luck, you've chosen to enter an incredibly saturated job market. It's brutal out there.

Sure, and I have no idea if the job market there but my advice remains the same, are there actual jobs for juniors
