Need Career Advise

Hi . I'm having 7 yoe as RPA Developer. Last year, I have decided to move out of RPA and to become a Software Engineer (Backend) and learning DSA, Java, Design Patterns, Building small projects etc., (I've enrolled with an upskilling platform) and it's going good.

Eventhough I have followed similar SDL cycle for developing and maintaining RPA solutions. I don't have proper SD experience.

With this background,
Can I get a good paying SDE job in current market scenario?

What is the expectations now ?

Please advise and share your thoughts.
