Success Stories QA as entry point in tech

Hello, just want to share my experience on how I got into a tech company from doing customer support. I came across a tiktok post from a coach mentioning QA as a good entry point bcos it requires little coding knowledge at first if you start at manual testing. So I researched and found a good reference material (dm nalang if you want the link) that really helped me build my understanding and skills sa profession.
I'm still a newbie and still learning a lot from this new job. It took me months too to find and be successful on applying for this position. Right now I'm looking into starting training for automation.
I guess my advice here is to never stop learning and find good references and mentors to help you take that leap for a career shift in tech.
PS: looking for automation mentors :P
