Need advice on career transition as a QA (3 years exp)
I have 3 years of experience as a Software Test Engineer, currently earning 6 LPA. My work so far has been around 80% manual testing and 20% automation (enhancing test scripts, not full framework development).
Now, when I attend interviews, most companies expect strong coding/automation (SDET-level) knowledge, which I'm not fully confident in yet. At the same time, I'm not interested in coding I don't want to be in SDET/Automation role. But I want to make a smart move in non coding with
Good demand in the market,
Pays decent salary growth compared to manual QA,
Doesn't necessarily require me to become a hardcore developer immediately.
I'm exploring options like Data or Cloud etc
← For someone with my background, what role would you suggest I transition into for the best long-term growth?
Any guidance or roadmap would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance!
