Default Re: planning on switching my career to finance. how to go about it.

What school did you receive your undergraduate degree from? If I were you I would get a job as a developer working for a financial firm. Then you can gradually make that move into a more business related role. If you completely stop working to go back to school, you are going to have to start from the bottom when it comes to getting a new financial job. I think a good career path for you would be to get a job with a financial firm as a developer then gradually make the move towards being either a business analyst or a developer at a trading desk. Both of these lines are things you can work towards with your background and will allow you to transition to a role with greater business exposure while not forcing you to take a major hit on salary.
