Adobe Software Engineer Profile for White Box Testing
First of all thanks a lot Gayle for such a quick response.
Though I have applied and my interview is scheduled this Saturday, I want to know that can I switch to the actual SE profile in other companies. How exactly the work differs in this case as compared to SE profile.
My next question is : Do these companies gives profile of SE/SDE is a person is SET/SDET ?
Hi Nitin,
In Adobe there are 3 different job roles: Member of Technical Staff (Dev), Software Engineer(White Box Testing), Quality Engineer(Black Box Testing). So profile offered to you is actually white box testing. The role consists of test case and test tool development, sometimes manual testing too.
Thanks debugger,
Do u work for Adobe ? R u based in India ? Though I have made up my mind, so I am not going to give interview for above profile as it will affect my career growth in development domain. Also because Adobe has policy that candidate can't appear again till 1 year. So I thought not to give this interview as in future there might be openings for development domain. Then I can apply.
:)
It sounds like they're calling you a software engineer but you're really a software engineer in test. It is a coding role. The role might not help you grow in the way you want, but it will give you a title you want in a company you want. So there is no easy answer. It can't hurt to apply though, can it?
