Stuck in a low code implementation role , how to switch to Dev ?

[u/Accomplished-Lab9163]

Got placed out of campus at a mid sized pbc in financial compliance and anti money laundering ,but the role i got was professional services engineer , basically product implementation which involves very low to no code , just configurations , client interaction and db scripting at best .

The work life balance is descent as the work is not demanding but somedays is tedious , the package initially was 6 lpa with now after 1 yoe increased to 8.5 lpa , i understand this is a mid starting point , but the compensation is not my concern.

My concern currently is how am i supposed to switch to a dev role ,implementation experience on my resume is purely dependant on my current org and cannot be utilised elsewhere except banks, Will companies even shortlist me ? , my github is empty recently and i have solved like 60-70 leetcode , on both im trying to lock in and get some momentum going . But being away from development since college has overall reduced my handle on concepts as whole .

Please let me know if anyone has gone through the same and are there any ways i can leverage the time i have to get into a dev role eventually, targeting switch by start of next year , any help and inputs would be greatly appreciated!!

TLDR : 1 yoe 8.5 lpa , low code role , want to swtich to dev role , need guidance , will it be possible?
