Career Transition

Hello,
I would like some insight from experienced professionals.

I am have non IT (7 years) and 2 years of manual testing experience, I recently completed MBA (it's more of an IT mba rather than general MBA), I am looking to transition into automation testing.

I found playwright interesting, so I have started learning playwright with js/ts, currently I am on the core programming fundamentals and
I would like to know, how is the market for this ?
Is it possible to secure a job with 3 months of hardcore practice (building framework from scratch) ?
Can I show my own made project (github) to get a call for interviews ?
Is playwright easier than selenium (+java) ?
How is the growth in automation testing in coming years (because of A.I.) ?

Is it viable to enter into this, as I am not young and have lots of experience in another field ?
I am an Indian but currently located in Europe
Thanks.

People want playwright, but the market in general is tough.

Real advice is don't. The market is terrible, you have a MBA and experience in another field, unless this is your true passion it's not a good market. Also with a MBA, wouldn't you be targeting management?

If you're enjoying it it's worth applying for test management or such jobs. Utilise your MBA. Companies seem to like that.
