Planning to Career Shift Again

I’m a Manufacturing Engineer by profession and worked as a Process Engineer/Quality Management System Staff/Project Engineer before I shifted my career to Tech. I’ve worked in different big Tech consulting companies. It’s been 6 years but I’m not yet sure how would I like myself to focus as I’m okay working as a generalist. For the first 2 years of my career, I’m a Manual QA Engineer (80%) and a Salesforce Administrator (20%). In that year, I became an accidental QA Lead as our Team Lead resign so I had to take over. In my 3rd year and 4th year of my career, I got more exposure in System Analysis and Project Coordination (35%) but working still as Manual QA Engineer (65%) but same platform in Salesforce. In my 5th year in my career until present, I became an Enterprise Systems Analyst/Admin (80%) and a QA Lead (20%). I was the one who started the QA practice from scratch and I’m no longer platform dependent as we have multiple technologies connected to Salesforce that we managed, supported and tested.

To be honest, I find QA work repetitive at some point though it fits my personality as I’m curious and very much detailed oriented. On the other hand, I had fun working as a Systems Analyst/Admin as I can encounter different requests and different problems. In the advent of AI and becoming more platform agnostic, I want to diversify my skillset to be more competitive. I recently got my PMP certification on top of my Salesforce and other technology certifications.

Would it be wise if I want to shift to Project Management or Scrum Master or move up as a 100% QA Lead or there would be a better role for me considering my experience?

We are implementing marketing SMS and consent management and we already selected a provider from an ISV in AppeExchange. Now, I’m looking for recommendations if there are web-based SMS app that we can to use to test it:

Our testing requirement is as follows:

- The App can hold 5-10 phone numbers without switching to a different account. If we trigger bulk SMS to 5 phone numbers then those 5 numbers can receive it and we can respond individually such as agreeing to a consent.

- Our purpose is to avoid using 5 different devices with a separate phone numbers.

I understand that we can e-sim instead but we have QA contractors outside the country and this is also to give them the access if ever we are in the testing phase.

Going 3 years diris Canada with ongoing Permanent Residency application pero gikapoy naman ko. Ambot murag gusto ko mouli ug Cebu and mopahuway ug 1 year daplin sa dagat or sa bukid. Kapoya na bitaw kinudkuray diri. Naa pay AI nga makapa overthink naku nga basin akoy nay sunod tanggalon. Dako-dako tood sweldo pero routinary na kaayo akong adlaw. Siguro noh tungod ni I’ve been working remotely since 2020 until naabot ko diri sa Canada.

Pahungaw lang basin maboang ko. Gusto na gud ko mobook ug plane ticket pero saon man dili paman ko pwede until ma okay akong Permanent Residency.
