I still learn new things in the QA life. I realized that I didn’t have to learn everything, I just needed enough to get started. Tell me something you learned in your studies this weekend?

Let me remind you of something: You don’t need to be the smartest person in tech. You need to be the most consistent. Most people don’t fail because they can’t learn QA. They fail because they stop halfway. What are you doing today to get you hired in your first TECH role tomorrow?

Just checking in on everyone to see where you are in your lessons and if you have any questions.

👉 In your own words, why do you think QA is critical to both the business and the end user?
