jest "SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module"

Question

Tried following the answers in 58613492,59879689 and 61781271

having the following error with jest :

  SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

      1 | import { Lambda, SecretsManager, config as awsConfig } from 'aws-sdk';
    > 2 | import axios from 'axios';

As you can see, it only complains about the second line (..?)

using node v14.19.3
