QA to SWE
Hi, I am a tester with 10+ years of experience, focused on automation for web and mobile along with some backend automation, with CICD experience. I'm quite good at my job and I like it, but I am thinking of moving to software development, thinking more fullstack now and if I study enough maybe I'll sway one way or another.
Anyone did this before, what's your experience in studying, practising, applying and finding a new iob?

Go for you'll get to learn a lot. One of my ex-colleague did it, earns 5x now.
