I have always been someone who grabs opportunities whole-heartedly. So when life opened a different alley, I walked the path.
Deerwalk Inc. which, at that time was in the process of being acquired by Cedargate Technologies, offered me a role as a Software QA Engineer. It was an entirely different tech stack, and I would be working with a huge team. (There were 20 QAs in one team!!). I took it, and got started with the US healthcare ecosystem.
I cracked the EDI files, and explored the US insurance systems. Apart from that, I got to explore automated testing with Selenium and when my test scripts passed ✅, I felt so proud!
But somewhere, I missed talking to my clients, and being more involved in communication and brainstorming. Although being in the technical side was exciting, I enjoyed the empathetic, communicative parts of my work more.
