How to stop taking screenshots for a living /u/sash_bash CSCQ protests reddit

I’m currently employed by a WITCH company to work for a FAANG company. My role is a manual QA tester and I essentially write test cases along with taking screenshots all day.

I was originally hired as a jr dev and worked on small scale projects/MVPs(minimal viable product) for a year until this contract came around. I went for it since the market was terrible and everyone who wasn’t billable eventually got fired.

It’s been a year since then and any sort of technical skills I had has atrophied. I’ve gone through two interviews this year and almost got them but “there was someone better”.

With 2 YoE and a bachelors in management plus a minor in comp sci, where do I go from here? Seems like I’m only eligible for other QA roles but I don’t want to get stuck in these positions.
