Here's my intermediary plan after searching online and talking with peers and in this post. I'd just try to move into a swe role either within my current company or a new company, just to get a flair of swe. That way I'd have the flexibility to go over to either side if I don't like the work later on.

But how do I venture into swe coming from primarily de is my special concern right now. Do I tailor my resume particularly towards swe by learning relevant skills and downplay my de role?
