Hello friends I am Ravi form India.
I am doing My final year B.Sc (Information Technology). I am going to complete by March 2010.
I had completed My "Developing Enterprise applications Using .NET framework" from NIIT. I am good in VB.Net, C++ and XML.
I don't like the Hardware/Networking/ web designing fields.

Now I had joined in an Software Testing Institute (Green Apple)
for studying Black Box Testing.

What do you think about software testing field AND WHAT ELSE QUALIFICATION I NEED TO BE PLACED IN MNC's other than this Which field has more demand and challenging job work?

Black‑box testing is a solid entry point into software careers, but it often stays at entry‑level pay unless paired with automation or development skills — as already noted. A postgraduate degree is one way to stand out (as suggested), but many MNCs prioritise demonstrable automation experience, CI/CD familiarity, and coding ability over additional academic qualifications.

A practical roadmap: strengthen core test design and SQL, then add automation (Selenium for web, with C# or Python bindings), API testing (Postman), and CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps/Jenkins/GitHub Actions). Performance testing tools such as Apache JMeter round out the skills set. ISTQB Foundation provides a common testing vocabulary; automation tool sites and vendor docs are primary learning resources: ISTQB, Selenium, Postman, JMeter, Azure DevOps Test.

Immediate, hireable evidence matters more than certificates alone. Recommended actions that recruiters look for: a public GitHub with an automation project (end‑to‑end web flow + API tests), CI integration showing automated runs, and brief documentation or a test plan. For higher pay and technical challenge, transition paths from QA lead to SDET, QA automation engineer, or backend/.NET developer; each path benefits from language depth (C# for .NET shops), system design basics, and cloud exposure (.NET learning resources).

Realistic expectations and focus: manual black‑box proficiency is useful for starting roles. Long‑term placement in MNCs is achieved by combining that knowledge with automation frameworks, source control, CI/CD, and a few demonstrable projects that translate skills into measurable results.

Actually, though software testing is important and requires high skills and is an area that is in demand, it is not a highly paid job when compared to other software industry areas.
