So it sounds like the role worked primarily with Java? I guess I can see why IT for 6 years plus 3 years as a JS dev wouldn't really prepare you for that and why, as a result, you would get slotted into an SDE1 role (hopefully with the expectation of ramping up quickly and making it to SDE2 in relatively short order). I'm not sure I understand why such a role would be interesting to you, though.
