How to switch from support role to SDE?

Hello, I work at Accenture and have completed a year in a support role in database administration, despite not having a BTech background. I'm aiming to transition to a development role in the coming years at companies like JP Morgan, Myntra, etc. Can anyone suggest what and how to prepare to make my first switch?

Follow steps shared by @OriginalDecisionmaking. Just one additional step.

Recruiters ask for relevant exp which in your case will be zero and you may not get call backs / conversions because market has enough candidates with experience.

So learn enough that you are able to lie about actually having worked as a developer instead of QA. Just make sure that your experience letter doesn't say that. In all likelihood, the first company you switch to won't verify the experience letter since it's released much after you would have joined them so it'll be fine.

Learn to code -> watch YouTube videos on full end to end projects-> do full stack projects -> learn how to host them, and make it online -> share how you built the whole project on blogs and LinkedIn -> do this for 4-5 projects -> start applying for jobs-> you’ll be confident on whatever they throw at you in interview and everything .
