Sure, but HR departments and recruiters can be (it seems to me) irrationally rigid about job titles. But you can get around that by moving between teams within the same company, or so I’ve heard.

I’ve mostly enjoyed my career and can’t complain about the money, so take my half-hearted regrets with a grain of salt. I’d probably be questioning my career choices no matter what path I had taken! And with your CS degree, you can probably avoid some of the imposter syndrome that I have experienced.
