Hello All,

Iam a S/W Engineer working in .NET for the past 3 years.Now im feeling really hard to cope with pressure and in coding part.Somehow Im feeling that I should change before its too late.As my company is small sized one there is no alternative ie to switch over to other domain.Im planning to go into S/W TEsting or Oracle which has relativlely less coding.Please guide on this.

Consider this, do you need some pressure management and pressure handling training? Since you have already invested 3 years into .net, why do you want to let it go? Pressure and coding pressure are always there in every company and specifically in coding. In testing you might have some other kind of pressures, essentially the work load and the work pressures are the same everywhere.

Now You might have perhaps reached the threshold in pressure, beyond this level you think its better to quit and go to some other field. But the contrary to this is to take a little time off every now and then and get more knowledge, you might get more mastery on the subject. But of course its your choice.

The last few stages of pressure is a testing time for you....
1> either stick to your field and become a master OR
2> change over to another field, in which case you will gradually loose this 3 yrs experience, though u might use it for sometime.

One more thing, if possible try meditation for relaxing yourself and to tackle the pressure.
