I am a Salesforce Developer, if I join Salesforce as a Technical Support Engineer, will my development career end? Or is it possible to switch internally from Technical Support Engineer to Technical Consultant?

You'll be able to switch from TSE to TC. But there are couple of rules around that.
1. You need to complete 1 year as a TSE before you can apply any jobs internally.
2. Your manager should be okay with you moving to different team.

Regarding your development:
You'll be entirely working with the customers and you won't get any development exposure. You have to voluntarily work on your development skills in order to stay updated with the development world as you need to clear the interviews if you want to move to Tc

how is the market for SF? r u getting calls ?

Learn something not related to Salesforce. Technical Support Engineering Roles are at high risk, if you are in core development you can explore the Senior Technical Consultant Role.
But, my suggestion is to learn AI/ML, MLOps, AIOps etc.
If you are in Data Cloud, Marketing Cloud or any other niche product of Salesforce like Revenue Cloud, CPQs, Health Cloud, Life Science Cloud this does not apply to you.

Hello fellow SAP Consultants!
I am SAP HCM consultant having 4.10 years of experience. I feel that this module doesn’t have any growth.

Should I be worried about my skillset? Any insights would highly be appreciated. I feel stuck.
