From Udemy to a Full-Time QA Automation Job — Olena’s Honest Journey
In this episode, Olena shares her real story of breaking into QA Automation in Europe — from taking endless Udemy courses to finally landing a full-time role.
We talk about: - Why cheap courses weren’t enough - What made her invest in an expensive SDET Bootcamp - How long it took to earn back the course cost - What European job hunting for QA looks like - Her take on slow manual QA roles in Europe - CRUD automation timelines, real interview prep, and what she'd do differently if she started again
Whether you're stuck in tutorial hell or curious about real results — Olena keeps it real.
