From what I have heard a lot of that job market is drying up due to AI / offshoring. I guess it depends on how solid your offers are.

Going to see a lot of career switches in SWE, because the majority of them were bootcamping in frontend frameworks which that quickly evaporated thanks to LLMs.

All the industry is just asking for is expert-level full stack software engineering experience (not anything niche, specific or narrow) which you just need an elite focus on systems design and architecture.

If you can't demonstrate to a company that you can make them a lot of money with your skills, they will just see you as another cost and a massive risk.

Generalists are the winners in this and CAD will just as automateable as SWE.
