"Entering IT" no longer seems like something beyond the bounds of fantasy and a privilege for the elite. There is an opinion that a tester is an easy profession. One and a half - two months on courses and Voila! You are in the IT community. The entry threshold is low, technical education is not required. And anyone, from a courier to a housewife, can master this profession. Is it so?

I want to emphasize that this is Katya's experience, her thoughts and feelings. You may have a completely different experience. And perhaps you will face completely different difficulties. And those that Katya spoke about will bypass you. And that's okay. We are all different, cool and unique. Everyone will have something of their own. Most importantly, remember that difficulties are normal. There is no growth and development without them. So, don't be afraid! Go forward! And welcome aboard.
PS: Thank you Katya for the interview. And readers for reading to the end.
