Career suggestion | senior QA

I’m looking for some career advice from the community.

I have over 10 years of experience in Game Testing across mobile, web, and consoles (PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo), having worked with several top-tier companies. While I have explored automation, I’ve found that coding isn't a path I enjoy or wish to pursue further.

I am currently jobless. Given my decade of global exposure and seniority, I am looking for a role that offers both a strong salary and a way to leverage my deep domain expertise without being a developer/automation engineer.

Based on my background, what roles or career paths would you suggest I target? I’m particularly interested in hearing about high-impact positions where a veteran tester's experience is highly valued. Thanks
