After 15 years at MS, this guy is probably unemployable anywhere else unless he is open to learning new things and retraining.
I've not seen the video so I don't know what he was really doing in Microsoft, but you know that there are other places where Microsoft software is used outside Microsoft, right?
I don't get whz he should be unemployable anywhere else..
- TheMagicHorsey 12y agoI don't know of too many places other than Microsoft where testing Microsoft software with Microsoft internal testing tools is an applicable skill.
- tdicola 12y agoThe SDET role varied a lot by team, but in my experience it dealt a lot with building automated test tools and not manual testing or other rote tasks. The skills are definitely applicable elsewhere.
- kamaal 12y ago>>I don't get whz he should be unemployable anywhere else.. Your ability to get work done has nothing to do with getting a job. Getting a job depends on clearing interviews. These days that means live coding over shared sessions, all kind of crazy math and puzzle questions, getting grilled over esoteric corners of CS, and your regular tests of algorithm wizardry. If you haven't interviewed in 1.5 decades. Its very likely you are going to go through hell before you find something you like.
