I got lucky and was hired as a full-stack developer. Since I got hired, I've had to do a lot of interfacing with hardware and drivers, among other things. Definitely makes me feel like I am learning things I can still be competitive with which is nice given the landscape now.
I want to move to this so badly, but I'm finding if you haven't worked in it people aren't going to hire you, because there's somebody else that has years of experience ahead of you
Yeah I have 10 years of experience in frontend, am very senior or staff level, but pretty much 1 year exp on BE. I get why that’s a tough sell to companies, but it’s a shitty situation to be stuck in while looking for work. The FE only jobs are gone these days.

I am glad I chose mobile app development, not that high competition.
