Gonna bump this

Those of you in the industry, what do you think my prospects would be like for moving from a tester role to more of a straight dev? I can write code, but I feel like writing tests is probably looked at quite a bit differently than production code. I'm sure lots of people do it but I'm wondering if I would have any luck just straight jumping ship into a dev role at a new place or if I need to transition into one at my current place and gain experience.

I just don't see a whole lot of testing roles out there anymore, maybe it's cause of the pandemic, but even before that I've been of the mind that it's much narrower of a long term career path.
