If you did some courses on programming and data structure and can reasonably solve programming problems. Then getting into a software development job with a non CSE degree is not that difficult also a lot of companies will consider ECE as related stream to computer science, I did my undergrad in electronics engineering (similar to electrical in US) and my first job interviewers did not give any mind to my degree and asked some basic algorithm and data structure questions, everything else I learnt on my job. It is not unusual to feel inadequate to feel like you dont know anything when interacting with some of your peers at times,but often times I later realise I know more than what I thought initially about computer science.

Only problem you might have is you might have to start from the bottom of the ladder, Just because you have a Phd doesnt mean the companies will pay senior dev salary (that could depend on your employer and city you are in)

I am absolutely fine with that. You have to start somewhere, right? And I will have an MS, not a PhD.
