I recently joined a bank as an IT Quality Analyst, and it's been an overwhelming experience. I feel like I've been working like a donkey for a fraction of what I deserve. My responsibilities include testing all types of software, including some that, frankly, seem poorly shity written by vendors.
The project managers are not helping matter....they push projects through UAT and expect me to sign off on everything as if it’s ready for production. They seem indifferent to how compromised the testing can be. They want me to say all tests passed even when there are unresolved issues. If I do find any failed tests, they expect me to chase after developers for fixes.

As a developer myself, I took on this QA role to explore a new area of IT, but it's clear that this environment is not what I hoped for. The stress is mounting every day, and I find myself wanting to avoid the PMs entirely. It's disheartening to see them receive compensation that feels entirely unwarranted given the pressure they put on the testing process without regard for quality or thoroughness. I need to voice these frustrations because it's becoming hard to stay motivated in a role that feels so misaligned with my values and professional ethics.

How can you make work interesting as a QA in a bank with a lot of process and most people don't seem to know what's going on in any projects ...

Who else wants to rant about a game called helldivers 2 .... the devs nerfed our guns ... we are told to go to war and we were told our guns were the finest in the land ....

I quit…. I have gone to start a farm. Farming is straightforward for the most times I will know why my crops are dying and intervene quickly. With systems they will die or people will break them. The system usually decides wen to work and wen not to work. Resolve issues by themselves after days..
