I am currently working as a manual Software Quality Analyst and one of my collegues told me how manual QAs are going to have tough time getting jobs in near future, while BAs have good room for growth and can reach to manager level in fewer years as compared to QA.

Sajha peeps, suggestions please.
Which one is better, BA or QA, in terms of professional and personal growth, salary, level of difficulty, and availability of jobs?

Thank you!
