Hello everyone,
I did my computer science in India and moved to canada as soon as I completed my degree. I have an
SCJP certificate and will soon appear for SCWCD. I have done a couple of internships in India in software development. But I am not being able to find a job here in Canada. Everyone asks for a lot of experience. They do have jobs for freshers but they prefer people who have graduated from a university in Canada. I have a job offer from a very big mnc, but that is a job as a Sofware QA analyst. Is it a bad decision to get into software
testing after doing computer science and putting all these efforts in getting into software development ? Should I wait for a better opportunity or should go ahead with the offer ? Is there any chance of getting into development at a later stage ? I would probably be signing a 1 year contract with this company if I accept this offer. So its like if i get a job offer during this 1 year I would not be able to take that either. I am afraid that if I would get into QA then I would get stuck into it forever. Does it add to my merits if I have software QA experience when I apply for software development job at a later stage or Do I have to start from scratch with base salary??
I dont know what to do
Please give me some guidance on this. I am really confused about my career.
