This isn't super common but an idea might be to get a job TEACHING AT A BOOTCAMP, trying to absorb as much as possible from the projects, or helping review projects. And then after a year or two try to transition to a teaching-engineering type role at a big tech company (they do have these but they are unique company to company) and then within that company try transitioning to SWE after settling in.
Just random ideas I thought of by giving my 2 cents candid reaction.
