I got laid off 2 months ago from my position as a SWE in a small trading firm, mainly doing Python development. I've been trying to target SWE roles at trading firms but not getting much luck. I have 2YOE.

I just got an offer though for a Trading Systems Engineer at a good trading firm. The pay/benefits are good, but it leans more support than development from their explanations. Throughout the process they kept asking me why I was moving from Dev to Support (I'm unemployed lol). It's also Tuesday - Saturday shift...

I'm worried I will be pigeon-holed into "Support". Does anyone have experience transitioning from a role like this to more SWE?

I'm wondering if I should wait out for a SWE role or accept this role in hopes that it makes me more well rounded dev so I can go back in that sphere.
