Tired of low paying testing job. Need urgent advice.
I'm a manual tester currently in a services company. The tech stack is laravel and mysql. Devs hardly write unit tests. And sometimes I do scripting using selenium and python, which I think is of no use. I need a roadmap in how to get a good paying QA Engineer job.
My language of choice is JavaScript. I'm fairly confident in it and also understand important concepts like event loop, prototypal chain etc etc.
Now I want to know how to increase my skillset to be a good qa engineer. Right now in my current company, there is functional testing and I'm not feeling it. Also, devs are writing code from ChatGPT. Salary is just peanuts 10k INR. It's all just a shitshow. Only good thing is I live with my parents and it's a small town, so I don't pay rent and food.
So, I have done my research and found Typescript and Playwright for QA. But I want to know from you. I just need to follow the roadmap and what things should I learn and how to learn. Please help! I'm located in India. At the end of the day, I just feel I'm wasting my life away.
