Stuck in my new company
I recently got into a company for a QA automation role and had an upcoming opportunity to work on an AI project. I’ve been creating a Claude skill for UI automation because they essentially have no automation yet.
My manager told me that his roadmap for me now is to finish up documenting the use of the Claude skill, onboard another person who only knows how to vibe code and has never actually coded, and move me to manual testing projects that are coming out so fast, that there won’t be proper sprints for them.
The AI project is on hold because the higher ups don’t know if testing AI products is essential, if the AI team can do it themselves, and how the QA team should even test AI products.
I already struggled for a bit to get a new job after 60% of the QA department got let go at my previous company half a year ago, I’m scared that I’m building up skills outside of test automation and software development (which is what I’ve always wanted to do and studied for).
Am I getting too nervous about my current company and thinking of moving companies too fast?
