Hi dude,

Its depend upon your interest. even manual testing is good. in between manual testing u can learn some automation tools too. after that ur growth will be more.

Hai Ankur, it depends on your interest.. if you dont find satisfaction as a tester better shift. Each dept. will have its own scope and significance but yes the PAY scale will vary and importance also when compared with Dev team.
