I started out doing tech support.

From there I worked my way up to developer support (helping developers integrate with our API) which had me realize that I wasn't happy just supporting devs, I wanted to be a dev.

Oddly, I've wondered if moving into a tech support like role would be helpful in my developer career.

It will surely help you if you are allowed to debug in deep.
Rather just giving pre documented answers.

I definitely feel like having that background helped me in my developer career, it gives me an empathy towards the end-used that I find many devs lack.
