Step3:i joined infosys on sep 2016.

Step4:after induction i came to know that i was allocated to Testing Unit.

Step5:that is why i got all the testing role project calls when i was in central bench.

Step6:i asked resource planning department that i am interested in development i do not know testing so map me to development projects at that they told that we need a developer for some of the testing projects.

Step7:then they mapped me to some testing project(responsobility : writing automation scripts in selenium) as i have no option i agreed to move to that project by considering below points(1.this is not manual testing 2.if i reject i may get any support project asking me to do some manual work 3. i can move to some other large service company but not sure same story may repeat there with other problems)

1)Now my question is how my decision will effect to my career.

As you are working in Infosys, it is a good Indian MNC. You will get multiple opportunities inside. If you are strictly looking for Development project then inform your concern to current manager. Before that you should have good knowledge on any technology that you are interested.

It may happen that after testing automation done, you can move to development project. But you need to confirm from manager.

Try your best to get it. If it doesn't work out then you have to look opportunities outside. If you are serious then try to get it before confirmation as 6 month before.

Next if you will switch, you need to stick with development only. Do not give any option to them to join and working in testing.

First of all, having experience in a reputed company is a plus and goes long way.
Keep learning programming side by side. Besides work, you have ton of time. If you plan to spend 1 or 2 hrs each day on programming, something new, for example, .NET Core, and keep looking outside and leave when you get a chance. But learning multiple things, multiple products, is a good thing in long run. Companies in USA appreciate that you know more than just programming. Our learning should never stop no matter where you work.

Programmers = Always learning!
20 years later, I am still learning.
