Great summary of the current landscape! To add to your point on the evolving scope, I think the shift toward 'Quality Engineering' rather than just 'Testing' is a huge trend right now.
With the rise of AI-driven testing tools, the focus is moving away from just finding bugs to predicting where they might occur using historical data. Also, as DevOps continues to dominate, the 'Shift Left' approach means testers are now involved in the design phase, making the role much more collaborative and strategic. It’s definitely a high-growth area for anyone willing to move beyond manual execution into automation and architectural analysis scope in digital marketing
