current role at my intern doesn't have me coding as much as I wanted as its more of a testing job. most coding i do is primarily writing scripts to make tasks easier.

recently my supervisor told me to start testing snmp which i have never done before. my department had very bad scripts for these tests i decided to write my own script that is able to take the .mib file and parse through and and store all the OID names with their specific OID. i had to do it this way because we do not have access to the internet so downloading libraries is not option (you are given libraries from your supervisor). there is a simplier way to do this through a getbulk request but for some reason getting python 2.7 to read the .mib file was practically impossible (oonly worked when i passed oid and its not possible to get the name from the oid as far as I know).

i then generalized the code further to make it so there is a gui where you can just choose any .mib file and it will automatically get all oids and names and store them into a OIDVariables.py file. (i don't think this is right naming conventation i dont write python code). after i did this writing functions to atuomate tasks was really simple but since its system testing it can be morte complex for example if you change one thing it will affect 4 other things so you have to keep track of everything. this took me about 2 days to accomplish (monday,tuesday)

yesterday the products i work on have a designated software and hardware person that u can talk to when you run into an issue.

the software person often comes down and checks on how its going etc (he was the one that told me to try to do this). i showed him how i did the task and he then gave me a task that he is working on and handed it off to me its basically desiging a frontend interface through qt using qml. (i have no idea yesterdayt was the first time ever hearing about this)

i'm honestly feeling really motivated after feeling extremely down after not really achieving anything at work. i like feeling challenged and really seeing how much I can learn so I guess im just happy

How are ya'll landing QA roles these days? I've worked over a decade in QA. I avoid automation as much as I can, though have decent knowledge over the years. Just hate coding tbh

Still, I'm overqualified as a QA lead. Which was my last role. I need a role asap since my last one, and can't seem to even get interviews for manual or automation roles

Reddit threads talking about manual qa still being in demand and will be for the next decade as you still require manual QA coverage

Cold applying isn't doing much. I was told targeting smaller companies and start ups but no leads. Do I dive deeper in automation and commit to land a role for now or stick to manual and apply in smarter ways?

You'd be surprised. I would argue most ISPs and SMBs are still using it.

Is this similar to cyber security route? I'm trying to avoid coding/automation
