Got a tech job but didn't know if it was our way.

Many people think that when they get a tech job, it's over, but for me, not at all. 😅

I got the QA job, and I'm not sure if this is our way, so today I want to tell you about my wandering. 👇

Before becoming QA, I tried it in different ways.

At first I wanted to go to the data line because I felt that it was the closest to the econ I learned to be able to build on what was available, but I couldn't get it.

After that, I came across a bootcamp that funded a dev. At that time, I thought the data line would be unlikely. Coupled with the dev, it looked cool, so let's learn, but seriously, I didn't know much about 😂

And then I got exactly QA, and I didn't mean to be late for QA, just wanted to be on the tech line.

But got the job and still didn't stop looking the other way

In my first year of work, QA, I still went to study more data. I intend to move the line again.

At that time, the lights were very strong, working to study almost without feeling tired (but also like to miss the fresh class, focus on the retrospective fall)

When I graduated, I revisited myself about how much we were in with the data line.

And I found out about stat, and I went from high school to college to college to learning more, but I still felt that I understood the basics, and I didn't see how to use it.

It's not about where to teach. It's purely about me feeling that we and STAT haven't been tuned in since.

So we saw that the data line might not solve our problem, so we focused on QA.

And lost, is it a waste of time?

No, sir.

The fact that I've been learning this has brought me to know Python, SQL, HTML, JavaScript since I didn't even work on the tech line, which has become a very practical foundation.

And then what had been studied, it hadn't gone anywhere. It was just waiting for the day to be used.

For example, when I learned data, I practiced Excel with Google Sheets a lot. When I did a QA job with a hundred test cases, I had to filter, find data, I had to bind the formula, I could do it immediately, and I could teach people on the team, even when I didn't think I could apply it to QA.

The other thing is, I know what I don't like, which I think is as important as knowing what we like.

If anyone's getting lost,

A working brother once told me that when we were young, try a lot of things to find out what we like or what we don't like.

I think it's true, because in retrospect, all the things I tried to learn came together, even though I didn't even know what would be useful.

So try it. Try a lot of things, not change. Don't think we can't.

Are you lost or have you ever been through this? Can you tell me in the comments? 🐱

... Read moreในประสบการณ์ทำงานสายเทคโนโลยี ซึ่งผมเองก็เคยผ่านช่วงเวลาที่รู้สึกลังเลและไม่มั่นใจในเส้นทางที่เลือก สิ่งสำคัญที่ผมอยากแนะนำคือ อย่ากลัวที่จะลองเปิดใจเรียนรู้และทำสิ่งใหม่ ๆ แม้ทางที่เลือกอาจจะไม่ใช่เส้นทางที่เราคิดไว้ตั้งแต่แรก ตัวอย่างเช่น ผมเริ่มจากการอยากทำงานในสาย data ซึ่งดูเหมือนจะเป็นตัวเลือกที่เหมาะกับพื้นฐานการเรียนเศรษฐศาสตร์ของผม แต่เมื่อเจออุปสรรคหลายอย่างและไม่ได้รับงานในจุดนั้น ก็เลยเปลี่ยนไปลองเรียนพัฒนาซอฟต์แวร์ (dev) ดู ถึงแม้จะลำบากและเรียนรู้ไม่ทันใจนัก แต่มันก็เสริมทักษะใหม่ ๆ ที่เป็นประโยชน์ในภายหลัง เมื่อได้โอกาสเข้าทำงาน QA ผมก็ยังไม่ได้หยุดมองหาทางอื่นและพยายามเรียนรู้เพิ่มในสาย data ต่อ สิ่งนี้ทำให้ตัวผมเองเติบโตและเข้าใจตัวเองมากขึ้นว่าจริง ๆ แล้ว สิ่งที่ชอบหรือถนัดอย่างแท้จริงคืออะไร นอกจากจะได้ทักษะที่หลากหลายอย่าง Python, SQL, HTML และ JavaScript ซึ่งช่วยสร้างฐานความรู้มั่นคงในการทำงานสายเทคแล้ว ยังได้เรียนรู้การใช้ Excel และ Google Sheets อย่างเชี่ยวชาญ ซึ่งกลายเป็นประโยชน์อย่างมากในการทำงาน QA ที่ต้องจัดการข้อมูลจำนวนมากอย่างเป็นระบบ นอกจากนี้ การค้นพบว่าตัวเอง "ไม่ชอบ" เรื่องบางอย่างก็สำคัญไม่แพ้กับการรู้ว่าชอบอะไร เพราะมันช่วยให้เรากำหนดเส้นทางอาชีพของตัวเองได้ชัดเจนมากขึ้น ทั้งหมดนี้เกิดจากความกล้าที่จะลองและเปิดกว้างกับโอกาสใหม่ ๆ ถ้าคุณกำลังรู้สึกหลงทางหรือไม่แน่ใจว่าเส้นทางสายเทคที่เลือกนั้นใช่สำหรับคุณหรือไม่ ฝากให้ลองเปิดใจและเรียนรู้จากหลากหลายประสบการณ์ ใจเย็น ๆ และให้เวลากับตัวเอง เพราะการใช้เวลาลองผิดลองผิดก็ไม่ใช่เรื่องเสียเวลา แต่เป็นการลงทุนอันมีค่าที่จะส่งผลให้คุณพบเส้นทางที่เหมาะสมในอนาคต
