Which career path should I choose

Question

I am currently working as a system administration senior associate at NTT Data and project is BMC Remedy which is a ticketing tool. In terms of career growth and onsite opportunities are very less in my project. Now I am having six months experience. I am planning to stay in this project until I got a job in well known domain. So my question is being a system administrator which domain should I go now. I have two ideas now.
1.) Shall I go for software testing?
If so whether my admin experience is considered or not. I would like to learn manual + selenium + Salesforce admin and testing from scratch.
2.)shall I go for cloud computing?
If so my admin experience is considered or not. I am planning to learn linux+aws admin cloud. How was the career opportunities for cloud in India.But I need my experience should considered for my next job . I am interested in admin related roles not development.

If testing is good, then suggest me what are the things should I learn?
If cloud is good, then suggest me what are the things should I learn?
And also kindly tell me job opportunities for AWS admin in India and onsite??

I need an valuable suggestion from all the IT experts.

You being a System Administrator, will know more about how to create or architect certain things. You can choose your career accordingly.

If you go for testing, you will need to have experience in Testing i.e. Manual or using selenium etc.

If you opt for Cloud Computing, your experience as a System Administrator will surely count. You can also opt for taking a certification examintaion by AWS or Azure or GCP for Cloud Architect, this surely will give you an added advantage.

You can also look for some online courses:-

Answer 3

I suggest you choose Cloud Computing. Software testing has been there for a long time and this process is being automated. The opportunities are less in testing compared to Cloud Computing. Cloud computing has great scope and opportunities for the next few decades. Start reading blogs and watching videos on Youtube on this. Then get certified to get a job.
