*sigh* I'm very stressed out these days. I don't know whether I should stay where I am or pursue development as I really find Quality Assurance work too...well some days I don't care and it isn't too bad but other days it's really REALLY painful.

Well, if you're thinking about staying with this place, I'd definitely suggest moving out. Four hours is far too long to spend on transit: I do two and even with the reading and whatnot it's frustrating. Just be sure to have the apartment vetted by at least two of us: there are some rather creepy complexes in North York.

As for development, the work is somewhat different. You have tangible objectives - there are things you know you have to get done, and that's it - but managers often overestimate how much you can get done. So, you might still end up doing overtime/weekends just to meet deadlines.

But yeah, try some devel for now. Think about it this way: you can always come back to QA later in your career, but you can't switch to devel in a few months. So yeah, start applying already! See if your own company would give you a position like that. Sometimes they do...

Honestly i don't think they want me in development. My coding is too rusty. *sigh* ah well. Perhaps I was just meant for a more peoply role.

i just saw this today on yahoo, when i was thinking the same thing
