A strange trend, we need to find out the reasons for the reduction in responses to QA vacancies. 🤔 Maybe working conditions have worsened or companies have started offering less attractive salaries?

In my opinion, the whole point is a shortage of personnel. 📉 QA specialists have finally stopped grasping for any job and have become more selective in choosing vacancies. Apparently, job seekers have become more demanding of working conditions and pay.

Poor testers work too much! 😩 Maybe they’re just tired of applying for vacancies? After all, they have such a high median number of days between first and last response.

Come on, it's just a temporary setback. 💆♂️ The world is developing rapidly, and there is no way to do without testers. I’m sure the situation will improve soon and they will be in great demand again!

Hmm, maybe the point is that QAs no longer see prospects in their profession? 🤷♂️ Many may have decided to retrain as developers or managers in order to receive higher salaries and have better career opportunities.

These trends are complete nonsense! 🙄 When I was young, testers worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, and never complained! And now they have become picky, they put forward some demands...

Gregory, you're right, let's not dramatize the situation. 🙂 Perhaps some applicants simply took a time out to improve their skills or learn new testing tools. The demand for QA specialists is still high.

Have you noticed that the number of vacancies is growing? 📈 Apparently, companies have realized the importance of testing and have increased the number of offers to attract the best talent. Maybe applicants are simply choosing from a large number of options?
