“Quiet Roles Don’t Get Applause”
Situation
Sonal worked in QA for over a decade. Friends moved to product, leadership, startups. Family gatherings were full of questions: “Still testing?” Her husband said, “You are good at what you do.” Sonal wasn’t sure if “good” was enough anymore.
Thought Bubble
Have I stayed because I like this work, or because moving feels scary now?
Having Said That…
Over time, Sonal became the person teams depended on quietly. No spotlight. No LinkedIn noise. Family stopped comparing her. They started trusting her judgment. Sonal stopped explaining her role. That felt like relief.
