How to handle a popup in selenium webdriver?

What's the going salary for Test Automation Engineer with several years of Selenium-Webdriver and Java experience?

  • I'm just curious. Not looking to leave my current position but I was wondering what others make in this relatively new career. I'm a proficient java developer and a growing expert in Selenium. I make 80K a year currently.

  • Answer:

    It would depend on the company that is hiring because Product companies tend to pay higher than traditional service companies. Companies such as Google, Microsoft or Amazon doesn't really look for specialized skills in Selenium while hiring. They look for candidates good in Coding/ Design/ Algorithms and assume that they will be able to scale up and work on any technology/ tool. But I know Flipkart specifically looks for the skills that you have mentioned for a position of an Automation Engineer and they pay ~18LPA + Stocks.

It highly depends on the number of years of experience and more than that it depends on where you are looking.In silicon valley, with about 6 years of experience you can easily fetch somewhere around 120K-140K.Now based on the living cost and other factors, you might be able to easily convert it to other locations also.In North Carolina (RTP area), you can make somewhere between 80K-100K.One more thing, as you said you are a Java Developer, I would suggest you to look for Java developer or Python Developer opportunities instead of Selenium WebDriver opportunities.You may be interested in this website, you will find some good course related to Selenium WebDriver and Python at a very reasonable price, http://www.letskodeit.com.
