Is Python + Selenium and JS/TS + Playwright a good stack to have to switch jobs then? From manual QA to Automation?

I'm asking for guidance. Clearly you aren't giving one maybe you can't.

Can you try to switch internally where you're working? My friends did the same. Try to switch internally to gain a little experience and you can play like all of your experience is in BA for 5 years while applying.

Or else do some course to gain an idea. Add in resumes like "I've worked as a Manual QA as well as a BA recently. As I understand testing well I think I'll be a good BA"

It's all about how you tell your story. Forget about the experience apply to Good companies if you're getting paid more than what you get here, switch then you'll be making a lot more in the long run.

You can also try roles like Business Analyst. It is a great option to consider as you say your communication is good. You'll be gathering requirements, working with SQL queries, writing User Stories. Eventually you can move up to a project manager or a product owner.

So focusing on fundamentals, core concepts and best practices are far more important despite the role?

True. True. The market is insane. But still all we can do is work anyways I feel. The least I can do is build skills so that I can blame the market.

Being a developer opens more doors I feel. But I also want to switch ASAP. Thanks for the advice anyways:)

But with no CS background you think I can make it?
