Is it necessary to become a senior software tester?

Before answering all questions, we should first find out a question. What capabilities should we need as a whole?
I think that as a tester, I should have four aspects of knowledge: Testing basics, industry business reserves, testing tools and technology, testing management capabilities and experience.
The above four aspects are also the reference for the promotion of testers. Of course, the basis of the test depends on the number of reserves. The other three aspects are the direction of our efforts.
The basis of the test is what all testers should possess. The other three items can be regarded as masters, and the others can be regarded as masters? My God
Industry business knowledge can basically be called an industry. Basically, its business knowledge is not clear for a year or two, such as finance, ERP, supply chain, and games.
Testing tools and technologies are excellent in testing the two major items (performance and automation) that can already be used in this industry, as well as security testing, databases, web testing, and some other tests. Technology has no boundaries, and technology has been developing.
Test management ability and experience. I used to think that it is essential to be competent in management. People who know something can be refined. Later, when PMP became popular, it was found that there were methods for project management, and it was natural to use these methods to work well.
Now, may I ask, dear friend, do you want to be full? Do you still have full talent?
My answer is that the business, technology, and management aspects must be reserved. Don't give up on what aspects you are not good at. This is our career-level financial path, qian Tu has no idea of giving up.
Speaking of the present, I think I support the all-round idea, but this time, after all, it is not a topic PK, so I do not need to explicitly support this idea.
According to my many years of experience, one person must fulfill his/her strategic goal. We may still have this industry, but it is certainly not much.
Because society has achieved a high degree of division of labor and cooperation, the work of each person limits his or her knowledge and skills.
If they are considered to be gold-and-oil members, they will either become the top leaders of the company (Zhang Xiaolong-level members) or members of teams with unfixed roles.
In the NBA, the gold-and-oil players did not become the core of the team. Apart from James, they did not play five places or were the core members of the team.
Today's mainstream culture tells us that to become the core of a team, we need to be able to have a professional team, use a professional team to gain the team's approval, and use a multi-functional team to integrate the entire team.
Finally, I would like to quote Han's words in "wearing a cotton jacket and taking a bath" as a concluding remarks: If we can make full use of our talents in this age, it will be the luck of exam-oriented education and the misfortune of this age. If there is, he is the king of the people, but unfortunately there is no, so we have to remove the "King" under the "all" character. The times only require talents.
