I think you’re overestimating my current job title. Peep the LinkedIn

Your initial description was very vague. Saying that you have 5 years of Python might be technically correct but in reality your last developer job ended over 4 years ago and now you're doing completely unrelated stuff. When people look at your resume, they'll see a salesperson at Home Depot who hasn't programmed in years. You'll need a good story about why you moved away from development - that's the part that will really stand out as a red flag.

You're essentially trying to break into the industry (again) which can be quite difficult. You might be carrying some experience but you also have some baggage to account for.
