Your Manual Testing Past Is Your Automation Future
Job market update: Companies are specifically asking for 'manual testers with automation skills' - your background is an asset, not a limitation.
Here's what I'm seeing in job postings: "Must have strong manual testing foundation" and "Experience with both manual and automated testing approaches."
Why? Because manual testers know:
- How users actually break applications
- Which edge cases matter vs. which ones don't
- When automation makes sense (and when it doesn't)
Pure automation engineers often write tests that work perfectly but miss obvious user flows. You won't make that mistake.
Your manual experience + new automation skills = exactly what the market wants. Don't downplay that background - lead with it.
