Your story doesn’t add up. Since a CS degree isn’t a pre-requisite to be a tester, and a CS degree goes a good way toward qualifying for a better paid software development job, why are your companies predominantly hiring testers with CS degrees? Why did the testers get the degrees just to let them go “dormant”?
- yoyonamite 5y agoI've never been involved in the game industry but it sounds believable to me. It's not a given that having a CS degree means a person can code, which is one of the reasons we code test in interviews. And I imagine the game industry requires higher coding ability. There are also people that want to be in the game industry no matter what. They would rather be a tester in games than a programmer outside it.
