I don't think it would be that difficult within the same company. If you have a manager that will give you a referral that would be great

What's your reason for wanting to switch? I'd talk to your supervisor and/or HR. They could give you more insight on what roles will work for you.

I agree with C1. It would not be difficult if it is only a lateral switch. Why do you want to switch?

CS and SWE is great in that it can be applicable to a great range of fields, to create immensely helpful tools for other things.

Things that come to my mind are government-related, military, some fintech. Sciences have great need of computing, and can have big impact, but income is less clear.
