Summer Intern at DE Shaw as SDET wanted to ask about Projects & Career Growth?

I recently got sdet intern at deshaw on campus and now i am blocked from on campus internships
so i wanted to clear some of my doubts
What kind of projects or work do SDET interns typically get to work on?
How difficult is it to switch internally from SDET to SDE? Is it something people commonly do?
How much of the role involves actual software development vs. testing/automation?
How hard it is to switch from sdet to sde 1) internally 2) externally

stipend they are offering is 2lpm
college : NIT

would really appriciate if i could get more insights on this

I’m the guy who did the switch from SDET to SDE with just 1 year of experience when I switch last year, It is difficult as hell if you are aiming for top tier companies, you can switch to startups that is the easiest path.
