Started learning automation .. currently at initial phase but your videos are really helpful ...thanks man keeping doing good work 👍

Thanks @Naveen, you always stands out from others, very helpful 👍, thanks for this.

Hei, it will be really helpful if you provide what kind of ds and algo should we practice, Thank you

Nicely categorized experience based expectations, very helpful !!

Hi Naveen You never fail to deliver quality videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I have been able to switch to other organizations by following your tutorials and guidelines. In my 6 years of experience, I have not worked with data structures directly; only in the form of Java collections framework. which in turn has their own implementation of the basic DS algorithms. Till now in the interviews no one has asked me any questions related to DS but I am sure if i go for interviews now, they will expect I am very well versed with them Could you please share some interview questions similar to the series you created for API testing and Selenium ? Thank you so much again. Keep sharing videos, we are always happy to learn from you.

True. This is expected standard that companies are looking from QA or SDET. Thanks Naveen

Thanks Naveen, I have been searching for this topic for a long time and finally found here.

Naveen, A big thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience. This video was really very helpful to me.

Very helpful Session.Thank you Naveen Sir

That's great info man ! But we are surely expecting some DS algo tutorial and interview question videos from you in the future, because that's where people face maximum no of rejections specially who are from the QA background transitioning into Sdets .. But as always many thanks and Keep up the good work 👍👍

Hi Naveen, first of all thank you very much for all the efforts you put in and contribution you are making. I have a question related to the above video, even if we have knowledge of the tools and technologies how can we show it in our profile ? Getting the opportunity or project in our desired technology and tools are not always in our control when we work in IT. So whenever we go for interview we have the knowledge but no hands on or project experience. How can we achieve that ? Freelancing, working on any open source projects or contributing to GitHub and stackoverflow or anything else ? Sorry for the long comment but it would be really helpful if you could provide answer for it in any of your video. Again Thanks!

Hi Naveen, A small question..? How to perform drag and drop between two different browsers? Eg : Drag a element from chrome and drop in opera.

Hi Naveen, This is so well structured explanation.Thank you 🙏

Hi Naveen, if someone is experienced in selenium in C#, even if that person is comfortable in other languages, how difficult would it be to get interview calls? Will the same cv be shortlisted? What all should be followed to get interview call if someone does not have working experience on that? Please suggest.

I Believe I Lie Somewhere Between SDET2 - SDET3. Although, I Have Experience Of Exactly 3 Years. I Like To Learn A Lot Through Udemy & RU-vid. But, What I Can Understand Is, It's Bit Difficult To Get A Good Salary On Basis Of Skills. HR People Hardly Care About Our Skillset. HR People Emphasize More On Years Of Experience. One HR Told Me That Java - Selenium Automation Is A Deprecated Technology, So He Can't Give Even More Than 30% Hike. I Tried To Convince Him That I Have Done Hands On Projects On WebdriverIO, Cypress, Python. Still, He Was Always Mentioning About Experience For Better Salary.

Thank you So much for this video.

Hello Naveen, At SDET-3 level- will it be good to look for Job options in European Countries for around 3 years, does this make a good difference in Earnings.. kindly suggest. Thanks!!!

Hi Naveen, I have Good knowledge of Python with selenium. I have 2.5 years experience. Should I apply for sdet 1 or 2
