I've observed several people in my network leave tech and go into financial planning or real estate. I've also seen people go into teaching and/or into endeavors like small scale agriculture and custom furniture. Depends a lot on your personal skills, motivation, location, and savings.


I too have had dreams of leaving tech for those fields, esp. financial planning but they're both sales-oriented & have high wash-out factors.

Going for CFP certification in financial planning could improve one's chances, but the training will take some time & isn't free.

There's a lot of demand for good financial planners, but not sure about real estate sales now that interest rates are on the rise.
