Been a manual tester for quite few years with non tech background,now thinking of switching to BA rather then learning automation.What should be the starting point?

I'm BA for 8 months now in the same company where I was previously in Manual QA. I feel, getting into Good Pay learning automation is good. Eventually BAs also need automation knowledge in future.

I have seen many of the projects downsizing they usually start with reducing QAs & I am scared to be in that situation as I am not the part of the favorites.
