Does doing QE for a while (say 3-4 months), and then going back to SDE, cause issues in getting interview calls?

Why would it?

@spongessuck a recruiter pointed out my QE position during the initial screen call. (She wasn't negative about it, but she wasn't thrilled either). She hasn't reached out to me yet. I'm not worried about the call by itself, but more by the effects that this position is causing me, the longer I stay in it. :(

@Hubot-0x58 it means quality engineer. It's where one builds tools to test the main applications. (At least that's what it is at my company so far)
