I hold 6+ YOE in QA. Honestly, I hadn't done good in my career, worked as manual testing most of times. Worked on few automation and ETL testing projects too but not satisfied with my performance. I feel,I lack interest in IT. But want to again give myself a try, kindly suggest what learning can I do to upskill myself. I have good communication, presentation skills. I like to work for something which can help someone in need. I am open to try in different field as well.

Pick a programming or scripting language of your choice (Java/C#/JavaScript/Python etc.), do a small beginner level course and learn it well.

Then pick a tool for UI testing using that programming language (I would suggest selenium), do a course from PluralSight.

Learn any API Testing tool or just do a course from PluralSight for Postman.

Spend few hours a week from your personal time and try to implement all this on the project you are working on.

Build your resume around these skills and study interview questions online.

UI + API Automation testing is a great skill set these days.
Also if you posses knowledge about any CI/CD tool, you'll be a complete package for any company.

All the best!!👍🏻

That was a helpful and constructive feedback! You must be an amazing Lead! Best of luck😊

Udemy is a goldmine for you to Kickstart and learn actual skills in any tech stack for your testing journey. You can do Selenium Java course by Rahul Shetty. That's the best! Just search it on Udemy. You can still start from scratch. I don't see any harm in it. I hope the best of luck to you.

If you are not into coding, data analyst or business analyst can be a good career option . But since you already have 6 yoe in testing, try to learn automation testing with java frameworks. This has good career opportunities.
Also, another good career option can be, scrum master role, since you worked as qa, and may be fimilier with jira.

like

Can you suggested reasonable courses for Java and Scrum master. I am not looking for mere certification but good knowledge to go for role change.

Try for business analytics role as u have worked in manual projects and manual tester as well as business analyst both r into same line so try for it
