Hey fishes 👋

I am a manual tester with 7 yoe, I am looking to move to some specialized testing like automation, etl or performance.

Which specialization is better and has scope for the future? Would be helpful if you could suggest the tool, course or certification to take

udemy has lots of courses..try rahul shetty academy. They have explained from scratch.

so it depends.selenium automation and performance testing both have very good scope.
try on your interest.

smart

My opinion would be not moving to automation but do a course to add that skill. With your exp I would play domain knowledge game. Depends if you have worked in same domain.

You should apply to Manager jobs.

uplifting

Yes. Manager job would be perfect for you but I would say scrum master or any relevant scrum certification would be an added skills for you
