How do QA Automation Roles in Web Dev compare to video game QA?

I grew up doing manual video game QA, and eventually moved up in to QA Management and then Production. A while back, I made the transition in to web development (Rails, JS, React, etc), but have been struggling to find an entry level job. However, I've gotten a few hits from companies looking for entry level QA Automation Engineering roles.

My question is, for those of you who do QA Automation, how do you feel about it? Personally, I loved video game QA - I would have done it forever if the pay scaled up enough. When I'm making my own projects/apps, I TDD everything, and always write extensive (for a beginner) test plans. I like seeing the tests turn from red to green, it feels like I'm accomplishing things.

I enjoy creating things on my own, but I think I would be happy working on my own personal projects on my own time, and writing tests for other's software for profit. I'm at a bit of a crossroads here and am hoping to hear from some other QA Automation folks to get a better understanding of how the job is.

Thank you!

edit: Thanks, everyone. I've got an interview next week, so I'll keep that and ask a ton of questions.
