My boss wants me (Test Engineer) to switch to development

I have 7 years of experience as a manual tester. In terms of my coding knowledge I'd rate myself 2/10. I'm married with a daughter who will be turning 1 very soon. Considering the inflation and increased cost of living, I think my CTC is pretty average. A developer having 2-3 yoe generally earns the same or more than I do. All my friends are earning shit ton of money and I feel like I can't compete with them. I don't have to compromise on anything if I want it or need it but I know I can't live a lavish life with what I earn currently. Here are some questions that come into my mind: 1. Should I switch from testing to development? 2. How much growth can I expect just being in testing? 3. If I were to make a switch to development, what tools, language should I aim for(considering my coding is really poor)

I am currently software architect with 14yrs exp with 12 yrs in the same org, but got to work on different products,stacks every 2-4 yrs. But not being doing much coding recently, and it's all simple Python anyway with a sprinkling of C++. I have started hands on learning of JS, Django, Kotlin to get a feel of new languages and frameworks. Don't want to put entire resume here, but those are the key ones. I enjoy my architecture and specifications role, but I think I might be missing lots of opportunities to learn different tech/stacks. Most importantly I feel up for a change after years of avoid risks to person commitments which are much changed now. Coming to the point, what worries me most is that most JD in different tech/roles expect some prior experience/expertise which I don't have. Requesting comments/guidance on how to make this transition to new role/tech/org. If anyone has done similar experience, request to share approach. I am apprehensive even of talking to my contacts for a referral as I'd like to try out and get some confidence first. I did a lot of transitions so far, but I wasn't deciding those. It was either customer/boss or chance. I am confident of learning anything, but not about impressing interviewers. Maybe a few interviews with Amazon and similar LEET based ones might be the cause of my low self confidence. I abhor those kind of questions unrelated to work and as a principle never ask them as an interviewer.

Short version:-So guys I am working as an automation tester wanted to switch to Development? Long version:- So i joined my current company as fresher Had basic knowledge of java then was trained on java spring boot Microservices devlopment. Then put on bench for about 4 month(i actually wasted that time).Now got a project I do automation using python and selenium.I don't like doing it . So now I want to switch to development. Confused should i learn Django, Node js or should stick with java spring only. I am more inclined towards django as now i write automation script in python. And i personally feel it to be better then java (maybe cause it is easier to write).But i don't know market trends. That's why guidance needed.Thanks in advance

Hello Peeps, I used to work in python only for data though. Currently learning django to help me write the code for my idea. I'm working on an idea that would mostly be a web app. Users can perform actions on the webpage. Imagine interacting with screens and they would just be images, I'd write the other custom logics. Any recommendations for the tech stack I should learn?
