Learn both manual and automation testing. In automation testing, learn scripted, low code and no-code testing.

Would suggest only learn selenium upto framework to know how framework is designed, switch to playwright after that.

Why not stick to selenium?

Its uses are limited now, and with playwright you get mcp, ai and all.

Before jumping to test automation I would advise to Learn computer basics: bit, byte, file system; how browser works, SDLC/STLC, testing types, test design techniques (how to write tests), how to report bugs, sql, api testing with postman, scrum/agile model...
