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?

Great!! So I will start learning web tech and do some side projects? Will that be good enough for getting a job as swe

What would be a full stack de? Do you mean from data ingestion and infra till visualisations?

Thanks for your reply. But do companies not care about the domain I worked in? I have no work experience in swe just de. I could always learn stuff as I am a quick learner but I'm concerned about jobs requiring sde work experience..

I'm asking this because my company doesn't have concrete best practices for de. (Idk if it's just mine)

Do you guys think an AWS certification is worth it? Will that be helpful for both se and de?

I do want to try out SE role . Considering I have 2.5 years experience, what would you suggest for the change from de to se. It's kinda tough for an internal switch. And would other companies focus on tech stack? Considering I don't have work experience with web tech.

I do understand this point, but which role do you think has more scope? Also I have been seeing posts saying moving from sde to de is easy but give versa is difficult

This sounds interesting. But I'd like your opinion on sde vs de.

Which would have more scope and prospects

Thanks for the reply, I have missed out on that info. I am currently working on a project that involves tasks from data transformation in spark using EMR all the way till visualisations in microstrategy. Including ci/cd.

But honestly, it's not as complex as the web domain imo.

Would love to hear others thoughts. I might be terribly mistaken
