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.
I was in same boat. Though I consider my career a good one but The feeling that something is lacking is always there becoz managers and lead considered a testing role is less important than a development role.
Also you can learn automation but finding automation role is not that easy.Most project testing is manual only, automation is there but very less.
So I have started to learn what industry like and value most - web development
I don't know whether it's good decision or not but I want to give a try.
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.
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
