Need help....

I graduated in 2023 from the National Institute of Engineering, Mysore, and got placed as an Associate Software Engineer through campus placements. However, after joining, I had to leave the role after 6 months due to personal reasons. Later, I joined a fintech as a Technical Solutions Engineer. While I do get opportunities to code, I am not fully satisfied with this role and feel that staying in it for too long may negatively impact my career growth.

During my college days, I solved a good number of LeetCode problems and have recently started grinding again. However, I lack personal projects, which I am now actively working on.

Would it be difficult to switch back to a software engineering role, and could you provide some advice on how to approach this transition? This situation has been weighing on me.
