So 20 years of working for the same company came to an end last week when I handed in my notice.
A touch of sadness that my struggle to get some professional testing going had come to nothing but when you are waking up at 4am with arguments about why testing should be done properly going through your head then it's time to quit.
A bottom-up approach to change can only go so far, especially when surrounded by apathy and/or resistance from the majority and you get a slapping down from the CEO
I wasn't learning anything and felt myself being dragged down into the mindless click testing that everyone else was doing, the job I'd had to struggle to get into was starting to turn sour
Took me awhile to get a new position ( a few blogs on THAT coming up soon ) but then I found a job ad that ended with
"A passion for testing is a must as my client will be proactively seeking to develop your career within the testing arena."
Couldn't resist that, applied, was interviewed and then offered the job the next day and I'm about to enter the world of test consultancy.
I'll actually be working with people who know how to test, who like to test and can teach me to test.
I can't wait to get started.
