I've known several people who moved from QA and testing to developer roles, but usually as an internal transfer.

Most recruiters and management don't know shit about fuck when it comes to technical details, so it's not surprising a lot of them think "Oh the guy who knows how software works and how to handle edge cases? No, we don't want him"
