Need help transitioning from automation engineer to development

I am a automation engineer with 2 yrs of python experience. I am trying to move into more development specific roles. Due to my experience I am not getting calls for development roles. Any help or suggestions appreciated!

Switch job. That’s really about it. Are you sort of new grad?

Yeah sort of new grad

What kind of development work “excite” you? For me when I hear development work, I think about building infrastructure that people can build on, not so much the backend for a product. So think about this for yourself. Everyone’s is different.

Try hard to move to a dev role internally. And then stay there for a couple years and re apply. I did the same thing at my employer .
