Is my career at a dead end?

I joined HCL Technologies as a Graduate Engineer Trainee and I’m currently working as a ServiceNow Developer.

I’m honestly worried that I’ve already put myself into a career dead end. My long-term goal was to become a proper Software Developer/SDE and eventually move to a product-based company, but now I’m confused about whether my current role will make that transition difficult.

I feel like my college placement basically screwed me over. 😭

Since I’m starting with ServiceNow, will recruiters for SDE/developer roles consider my experience relevant? Or will I be treated as someone with a completely different tech background?

Is it actually possible to switch from ServiceNow development to a general Software Developer/SDE role at a product-based company after 1–2 years?

If anyone has made a similar transition, I’d really appreciate some honest advice on what I should do from here.

TL;DR: Joined HCL as a GET -> ServiceNow Developer. Want to eventually move into SDE/software development at a product-based company. Did I make a career-limiting choice, or can I still switch?

They send me this after bgv email

Even though I entered the correct UAN number and also uploaded a copy of my UAN card, I still received this message. When I contacted Hello Verify (the third-party background verification vendor), they told me not to worry because it auto generated and might have been sent by mistake. I also asked them to confirm the UAN number I had submitted, and they verified that it was the correct one. So, I don't think this is an issue from Hello Verify's side. It seems like it might be from HCLTech's side. Should I be worried about this?
