Being a QA Engineer | My experience, tasks, startups & my biggest advice on excelling

I'm back with an honest chit chat about being a Senior QA Engineer and tips I have. I've been in QA over 10+ years and worked for various different companies and startups. In this video I talk about:
- My experience as a QA Engineer
- My thoughts about qa bootcamps and certifications
- Typical tasks, expectations and responsibilities as a QA Engineer
- Tips to help make yourself stand out in an interview
- Tips on how to move up at a company
- What to expect working at start ups and more!

I don't talk too much about how to get started but more so what it's like once you get started in your career and how to do well.
