I did what I like. I am passionate about automation, and I see myself in the future working in this area and improving my skills, and bringing value to the project where I am and users that use applications.

Prefer be the part of team, and about achievement from my past experience, could remember that 5-6 years ago worked as manual QA on banking project, and each time before regression testing we have to create manually bunch of users with different settings and configurations, and this preparation actions took a lot of time, so my suggestion was to automate this actions. We implemented a "script"(using webdriver, data provider, csv file) where all actions were performed by emulations our manual actions on UI, just all data was set in *.csv file(like credentials, configurations, e.t c), and in the future, it decreased preparation time for regression testing.

Like:
I would like to be involved fully in automation testing processes as much as it could be. Like to design UI, API test cases review them, maintaining them in actual conditions. Optimizing test framework and finding new solutions.

Not to much like:
Redundant bureaucracy.
Not interested to be involved completely in manual testing, partial participation into manual testing is acceptable.
