It is a somewhat promising job. Doesn’t take too much time away from your family or life. You would be able to work out of the comfort of you home in most cases. But other times the company will require you to work at their factory.

The job earns a pretty good amount of money for the career. Averaging in the U.S. at around $69,370

Hope I helped,

Yes Ms.Yin. You have the opportunity to try out new products and analising products you are testing out to determine on what to improve, productivity wise as well as security features….It aint an easy task. When a new product is introduced, you as an software engineer have to work extra hard to improve the product,etc……

Yes Software testing is good job and it pays well. But there is a lack in creativity. You are testing a software others created. Where is the creativity
