You can go for product management or business analyst, any relevant MBA would help you to build you skills and confidence. Just Keep learning whatever interests you 😊

Yes, product management is a complete subject, product owner is one of the role in it. Its in good demand too.

The sooner you shift to Sdet it is gonna be beneficial for you, an SDET can do manual testing as well as automation and much more, so company will prefer SDET over manual tester.

Thanks mate, any suggestions how I can switch to SDET?
And TBH, nowadays not interested in coding stuff 😑

Today 8th standard students are learning programing languages like Java then why can't you ?
