So it is possible to make the switch (IMO) but, in Europe, I think you may struggle to find a matching salary when starting out in security.

To give you some idea https://twitter.com/tazwake/status/1451702586348818435?s=20 is actually (IME) pretty close to UK Infosec salary ranges.

Past that, if you're still interested, I'd say you want to focus a bit on what sort of security work you want to do, there's a massive range, and the qualifications and experience vary.

With a dev. background, something like Appsec work is likely to be the closest, or maybe DevSecOps. The advantage of both those paths is that they kind of sit between development and security, so you can leverage your existing development experience, when looking at roles.
