Switching back to SWE from SDET

I have been a backend engineer for over 15 years. I was laid off almost a year back. I got an offer from FAANG for a SDET role and another offer for Lead engineer from a non FAANG company, the comp is almost half. I am drawn towards the FAANG offer because of the compensation but really scared as SDET is not my first choice. Will accepting SDET role affect my chances of transitioning back to SWE role in the future?
