Modern QA engineers often live in a loop: deadlines, testing cycles, communication with developers, bug reports, regression, release — and again. Somewhere between sprints, you try to have a life.

​At this meetup, we’ll talk honestly about how to survive at work, keep your energy, curiosity, and motivation, and find that elusive work-work balance — when your job doesn’t drain you but fuels your growth.

​Expect not another “productivity lecture,” but real talk from people in the field — how to stay human in tech, what habits help you reset, and how to build a sustainable rhythm for your QA career.

​We’ll discuss:

• ​How to avoid burnout when everything’s “urgent”

• ​What balance means for testers (and why it’s different from developers’)

• ​Practical frameworks for managing energy and focus

• ​How soft skills can save your sanity

​Speakers:
🎤 Sergii Khromchenko — Sr Engineering Manager, SDET and founder of Codemify, mentor who helped 1000+ students enter QA.
🎤 Olena Gerasymova — QA Automation and community builder.
