Hey guys!

I'm a senior computer science student at a big ten university graduating in December. I'm thrilled to have been offered a full time software engineer 1 position on a QA team. I just wanted to ask, I ultimately want to be a software dev, would taking this QA position make that more difficult in any way? Or is it a great place to start? Because it is a software engineer position, but not directly doing software development.

Thanks for your input!

Hi! If you want to do real coding, pick up a software engineer/developer role. The QAs on my company don't write code.

Take it but explain you'll like to hop to development if possible, they'll probably get it and try to accommodate and if you get a dev offer you can hop right on it without looking bad.

It's a great opportunity! The more you learn about QA, the easier it is to deal with the QA department as a developer. Best of luck to you!
