Switching industries/stacks isn't difficult for a software engineer. As another person mentioned, you should apply for jobs that interest you and see if there is a fit.

Personally, I was a Python developer for years before I joined a company that did mostly JavaScript. I was upfront that I would need a few months to ramp up on the language/framework/paradigms. For those few months, I had to put in more work than my peers so I can catch up and become productive.

You should expect a few months of struggling before it all makes sense.

P.S. Sorry for the jargon :) I was typing my response on the go.
