Hello guys and girls, I will graduate in CS in about two months and I am currently in an SQE/Testautomation internship at a big corporation. The work place and atmosphere there is nice and I enjoy working there. The thing is though, that I heavily focused on C#/.NET and DevOps/Cloud Computing over the past years and like to develop my own projects in my free time. They could most probably offer me a SQE job after the internship but they don't have the need for junior devs at the moment. Their dev tech stack would exactly match my experience and my preference. So, my question is, should I take the SQE offer (if I get one) and try to transition to dev if the oppoturnity arises, or am I wasting time if I am planning to become a dev and should focus on job hunting instead? I am located in Central Europe and the entry point to SWE seems very tough at the moment as I am having a hard time finding junior dev job postings.
