Guys how is the market for Test Automation engineers? I have been working in tech for the last 4~5 years.
I've always been permanent, worked for some blue chip companies. Thinking about going contracting, my skills are Test Automation, include python and JS(basic) testing frameworks.
Wonder what kind of rate I could expect and whether the jump to contracting is a good one?
I have an opportunity to transition into a Product Owner role, can't decide to become a PO or go contracting...
Thanks AJComment
