"I am lucky to have a job at an amazing company with a great team" - count your blessings! Plenty of people don't have a job, or lost the job they had as a result of the Covid-19 crisis.

Just a thought, can't you try to move into (web) dev at your current company?

If you're happy with them (as you say you are) and they are happy with you (as I assume) then the two of you shouldn't part. As they're in the digital business already why don't you offer to do some pet projects for them at no extra pay/salary, sort of as an internship next to your paid job.

Hi Leo - Yes, that's what I'm trying to do - I mentioned in the post that I'm trying to transition into a web dev role at my current company. I've already had the discussions with my boss, and I do code on the job already, sooo I'll keep my fingers crossed and hopefully will have a follow up blog post with good news.
