  I want to know if I am going in this what about the scope I am going to get in further jobs

  Going ahead in the field of testing is also a very nice profession. After all, Production team depends upon tester to make sure, the code is working fine and it will not cause any issue and pass regression testing. In today's world, testing is a vast arena. Lots and lots of software/courses are there, where you can go ahead with making your professional life satisfactory.

  Also can u name me some big companies where testing is required?

  Almost all big giants want testers my friend. Testing projects makes more profit to the Company than a development project (In many cases). This is my personal experience. Besides regular coding, I am assigned to look after the billing part of the team members. Developers are paid 23.3 dollar per hour and tester gets 36.6 dollar per hour. There are almost 70 candidates working in my LOB.
  So, do not worry, if you really want to make your career in testing field, there are many opportunities available.
  
  Thanks.

  Whatever you have heard from the people, is their perception. It might happen, the people who advised you are associated with some firms which do not have testing projects, or very less projects.
  Developers writes some codes. They do unit testing. But the client/buyer of the product will not blindly believe the developer. He will take the help of testers to ensure, the code is working fine. None of the code will be deployed in production region, unless is thoroughly tested. So, in the world, till the time developer exist, testers are a must. So not to worry about that.

  not much growth

  "Not much growth" is a target statement for me. I will create this situation. How? I will try to posses all those capabilities that, my client will always be happy with my work. So, I will not give any other member to replace me. Go ahead with this strategy and I strongly believe, you are going to succeed. 😁
  
  Thanks.

  I couldn't find any growth here in my career.

  Have you analysed the reason for not seeing growth in career at your organisation? Is it you or the company that you're working for? If it's you, you need to address the root cause and if it's the company - you need to switch to a new job. I don't see a case building up for you to switch to a new career as a Java Developer.
  
  If you are interesting in switching your career track as a Java Developer, I'd recommend that you should take up advance java certification and start applying to various companies. Java developers are hired by most of the companies out there and I'm sure any company would be willing to hire a highly skilled Java developer.

  You can. But don't you think you need to figure out whether testing is a good career choice for you? Else, you'll end up bored in your new job as well.

  Advice remains the same. You need to figure out whether testing is the right career choice for you before you opt to change your current track to testing.
  
  Else, you'd end up being in the same situation.

  In case of salary n number of opportunities, development is better. Once if u r very good in finding bugs and breaking the system and u enjoy it, better stick to testing it. There is a great future for testing as a software always need better quality.
