It’s possible. I was in QA for a few years but joined a company that was going to get rid of their QA team and transition them to developers. I was lucky. But I also have an MIS degree and took computer science (learned OOP and C++ and Java), took some DB fundamentals, networking, etc.) so that helped me. Of about 30 QA analysts, there are only 3 that stayed with the company and became developers, and I am on of them. We mainly do backend but are technically full stack developers. It helped that I started doing test automation and coding in my QA role.

I would recommend everything stated in this video.

I was almost 3 years experienced QA Engineer and trying to switch to dev for months recently, there were ups and downs for me and left my QA job and for almost 9 months I'm unemployed trying to land a job in backend development by trying to improve myself through learning, hands-on practices etc. And I've stated that in my CV that I'm freelancing in this unemployed process even though I'm not. Is that going to be a problem? Or ok to a bit putting the attention off the unployment status (of course I need to back it up..)

I’m putting this comment as I’m struck rn….I’m into QA for about a year and a half now and I’m not much interested in continuing the same…I’m thinking of moving my career to either design/dev…But I’m not sure which to choose….
If anyone have a good idea on this, pls pitch in😊…
