  Hi,
  
  I am having around 9 years of experience which includes manual testing and automation testing using qtp/uft.
  i would like to change my career to BI/Informatica.
  Please do suggest.

  Dear Vishal, welcome to CrazyEngineers. It's not clear what problems/challenges you are facing while shifting to new career and what are the questions you'd like us to answer. It'd be nice if you could be as specific as possible so that we save some time in understanding the problem.

  Had I been in your situation, I'd have began with an analysis of what's currently wrong with my current job. If it's the technology that's boring - I'd think of options. If it's the job; I'd look for a new one. If it's the entire testing domain that doesn't entice you - only then I'd think of switching to a new one. BI / Mobile Testing are two different domains and you will have to first decide on which one is more suitable to you; because you surely don't want to end up in the same situation a few years down the line.
  
  I'd rather say switch to a new job / company for a better position, salary.

  Thank you for the suggestion.
  
  As you have mentioned, i tired to switch to other companies, but i didn't even got one single interview(skills - qtp and manual testing). hope even others are facing the same issue, not sure wether market is down for qtp.
  Please have your words on the same.
