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

Unless you have some easily identifiable outstanding skill, this is a tough one. As MrMetropolitan wrote, becoming a developer in the financial industry can substantially improve your chances. Best spot would be as a developer actually sitting on a trading desk. Probably will be tough for you to land, so also look for something where you are working on trading or risk systems and in contact with actual traders. You probably have to relocate to NY.
