DevOps to SWE?

If I am a glorified sysadmin (title DevOps Engineer), can I switch to SWE or is it hard? Or just LeetCode? TC 90k, 3 YoE

Why are you moving to SWE role? DevOps field makes more money than SWE in general... And it seems like there will be more opportunity to understand a scalable architecture in a daily work. ( just curious )

I’ve heard the opposite on here. Sounds like DevOps will fade out in the next 10 years

I am in the same boat. I guess it will be a bit hard as you dont have full time coding experience as a dev. So, you might want to crunch LC (easy/medium) and grokking system design.
