Has anyone every pivoted from Control Systems Engineer to Software Engineer?

Graduated from a good school last year with my bachelor's in CS and got a job as a Control Systems Engineer as I wasn't getting any traction with SWE while applying and needed a job.

I make ok money but SWE is still my passion and I want to pivot.

I do a lot of PLC programming and network design, so im kind of missing out on all that agile CI/CD pipeline stuff that goes on in SWE.

Was about to start slinging apps soon so would like to hear about anyone elses' experience.

Has anyone pivoted to SWE from a Control Systems Engineering job?

Graduated from a T20 last year with my bachelor's in CS and got a job as a Control Systems Engineer as I wasn't getting any traction with SWE while applying and needed a job.

I make around 90k but SWE is still my passion and I want to pivot.
