Modern testing for modern stacks

Problems that I faced: I started my career as a lecturer. My faculties had become the colleagues for me, then I came over it and started working comfortably. After a break, balancing between personal and official work was difficult.Cultural difference in students between the state surprised me. Then with the help of my colleagues, I adapted to the situation. There was no growth in my past career so quit the job and wanted to try new things so that I can improve myself. Then I landed over to Qxf2. I talk to my ex-colleagues personally nowadays. Here I have a good learning experience.

Problems that I faced in the past:
1) I found people management to be the toughest as there's no solution but you always need to have alternative options. Problems include the attrition, sick leaves, contingency plan.
2) I was confused about getting back to my IT role or switch careers as I had taken a career break. But explored my options and realised its good to go back to what I like.
3) People's opinion about working for a stipulated amount of hours instead of focussing on delivering tasks.
4) I don't like the traditional approach of performance appraisal, it's not measured well.
5) I had a different opinion about remote jobs but experienced the good/bad sides way after joining Qxf2.
6) I always saw less learning in corporates, you aren't encouraged to take another route either.

Some problem which I faced:
1) Job hunt: Especially when I made the switch from a mechanical background to software stream.
2) Learning about testing: When I started my career as a tester learning how to test was a problem.
3) Handling people: Learning how to handle people in a team, how to keep everyone motivated, handling conflicts.
4) Reporting Testing progress: When the client want things to go smoothly it was tough showing the real testing progress.
5) Tester and Developer: Managing conflicts between a tester and developer.
6) Estimating and restricting testing based on hours. It's really tough forecasting testing.
7) Political Issues: In the corporate world, everyone would be searching for a scapegoat when something goes bad. This was a tough problem to handle.
8) Coordination work: Being the face for someone else work was a challenge I faced.
9) At Qxf2 managing working remotely was a problem.
