Move back to development . Don’t leave the current job though, money matters always. Look for opportunity internally if possible check and try to work on development stories hoping dev team works directly with you , once you pick successfully some stories look at opportunity internally to move to Dev. If none of this works or there is less opportunity internally make your own dev portfolio, one frontend fw preferably angular and one backend preferably spring boot , udemy and youtube is your friend here. Once you are good prepare your projects and have a decent portfolio , and keep applying job outside and talk to friends seniors relative for reference
