    Welcome to CrazyEngineers, #-Link-Snipped-# . It's actually a good thing that you're interested in many things that my directly or indirectly impact your career. Instead of treating is as a negative trait, think of it as your plus point.

    It's true that manual testing gets monotonous and boring after a while and the next logical jump is to explore the field of automation. However, it's very important that you pick up your domain before you make the jump. Follow these steps -

    1. Find out what all an automation testing profile has to offer and check if it looks interesting to you. With your curiosity and ability to learn tools and technologies - you'll have ample opportunities to grow.

    2. If it's the development side of things that attract you more - find out what profile you'll get into and what roles/responsibilities you're likely to get.

    3. Be aware that the package you'll receive will be a function of several factors. It's better to settle with a domain that you find more interesting and keep growing in it (thereby getting more salary) than job hopping every few months. However, that's my personal opinion based upon observing several candidates over a period of time.

    Also, you'll find out that there are too many things to learn because the technology keeps improving and no matter how much you learn, there will also be something new on the horizon. Keep that in mind and keep making progress.

    If you have more questions, throw them in. Enjoy your journey with CrazyEngineers 😀
