Hi, I am a final year CSE student from a Tier-1 college in India. I needed help in choosing between the following 2 offers:
I am aware of the differences between an SDE and a QR role, and my primary interest lies in software engineering.
Yet, I was considering an option to join the high-paying QR role and try to get a competitive SDE offer from a product-based company in the future (within 8-10 months of exp). Is this a feasible / viable option ?
In other words, will FAANG-type product-based companies take my QR experience and salary into account while giving out an SDE offer ?
Hoping to get some advice/views on the same. Thanks.
