Just turned 40. I've been in the LAN/WAN network engineering field in some form or another for 15 years, from NOC agent to incident response/management, to now a design role. But I'm getting a little sick of the field. I've been trying to figure out what I can pivot to that won't be a massive paycut or a step backwards in quality of life. I'm pretty certain that the ship has long sailed on my dream job (investment banking/hedge fund world). I've been looking at fields like cybersecurity, cloud solutions architecture, data analytics.

Would a pivot into any of these fields for someone with a ton of network engineering experience plus a certification or two in the new field be possible?
