Hi Blind,
I'm a product/app security engineer with around 3 years in the field. Doing mostly devsec/pentests/code reviews, while I enjoy the role and scope, i'm having thoughts to maybe try and go to a 100% SWE roles. I've never worked in SWE, came into the field via pentesting.

Someone that made the switch how was it? Do you miss your security days? Or i'm thinking the neighbors grass is greener?

    SWE in a security team might be a good start. I am not a security guy, but in a security team as a SWE.

      Well look for such roles and make the switch. Infrastructure and security experience is valued even if you don't have much development experience. Look for cloud security, infrastructure security, K8s, microservices, etc in the JD keywords.
