    I’ve been considering switching to SDET, but every job post I see for that expects multiple years of experience as a SDET and with their testing frameworks and tools, do you think getting some testing certifications and applying anyway would get me interviews. Also I know the pay will be less than SDE, but is the job stable with good WLB?

      I’ve got no idea about the courses, as this was my first job out of college. They trained me on the job to be familiar with their testing framework. At my company it’s seemingly been pretty stable with good WLB, but I feel like that depends more on the company, as that’s also true for the SEs here.
