I can use the search bar, but without the exact title or link it's pointless anyways thanks for nothing

@zakheleelton4439

Kindly share that 10hr video from youtube

@nangamsombune6348

😥I wonder if I can still change my career to IT at the age of 34

@Landed.1

@ericmkobe4554

@BontleShezi

For someone who did maths lit, tourism, and geography and being told I will never amount to anything this is empowering. Will definitely try this.

@throughmimindseye

This was helpful, thank you

@katlegoMatlala78

Great interview, great insight. Loved this!

@kfutuahnkain86

Yes, sister let's get his brother into the studio

@katlegomazibuko5194

I’m currently trying to rack up a afew certificates in IT but I think going for Help desk in IT is a great start too

@MrLebohangk

Only barriers in IT would be not having experience, these guys are speaking the truth, the only issue on my side is just getting a breakthrough with my first role , i have IT degree, with few certs in IT but have been a bit struggling with lending my first role , once you are in industry it’s much easier to move around.

@letlhogonolopududu

please also bring his brother

Whaaat??
This guy's absolutely mind boggling, ngl!🤣 The more he speaks the more I realise that he occupies every single position that handles analysis in Software🤣

@WellsOfWisdom-lc1dn

In IT its about what you can do and not about your pile of degrees

@WellsOfWisdom-lc1dn

Now we are talking my line of career. I studied commerce studies in High School, graduated with National diploma in Accounting. Never done any Maths never done any science but here I am in IT as a QA Analyst. Have been at it since 2011. Yippeee

Just get yourself STQB certified. Google them

@MlamuliMagwaza

Thank you for this channel

What an inspirational young man!!!!❤❤❤❤

@sindymokoena2434

So True

@luthandomdiya949

Which course certification does he recommend for quality assurance testing ?

@katlegofentse6451

Hi..I did IT System development I was asking what can I do next

@IanVie

If you have 20 certificates its good as a degree

@NomsLoots

Yeah no I’m getting into testing from the AI gig money 🥹🥹🥹

@jay1900

This is my passion, had it not been for me being shy id come and contribute

@jay1900

Hi Boni, never thought youd touch the software testing space. Well done. Ive been in the space for 12 years now and I must say I'm taken aback by the over simplification and deception in some of the comments.
1- Its possible to become a tester without a degree, but its very unlikely, only people who are generally end users of a particular system succeed
2- Automation Engineer and Test Analyst are two diff things. One is an actual engineer, another is a tester.

Ive mentored quite a few people into getting into the space, worked for banks locally and international, consulted and even ran my own company on same so I'm not bluffing. But im excited to see that my people are finally getting into the space. Kudos

@ameval-sessions4213

im curious , dont you guys think software testers will be obsolete in 5 years time?like we have so many auto dev ops tools,and CI/CD tools…(gitlab , Azure dev ops , more) …why would anyone hire a software tester?

@nolithandotrudy7868

I m crushing the guy😊
