I interviewed for SDE role, but the hiring manager is recommending for SDET role because I have 4 yrs dev (most recent) with 6yrs of QA experience. The hiring manager is suggesting that I join Amazon as SDET but will be working on SDE assignment for the first 3-4 months, If I meet his expectations then he will promote me to SDE role officially.
I worked really hard to switch from QA to Dev role at my current company and I really love my job. I am confident that I can not only meet but exceed their expectations, but just a little nervous about this cases. How should I go about this situation?
They are offering 245k TC (base 165k + 125k bonus + 98 rsu) which is quite good and the HR said its at the high end of the pay scale.
Is it worth the risk? I need to decide in a day or two. Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I have decided to take the offer. Thank you all for your invaluable advise. Really appreciate it.

If you don't want to be QA and have worked so hard to come out of it, then think twice.
Don't bet on converting to SDE at later point. That is less likely to happen.
