I switched to Investment Banking when they where looking for Java people 20 years ago. So this was a case of the demand for a tech skill outwaying the supply and therefore the banks didn't get to be too choosey. So perhaps one way to switch would be to learn a tech skill and use that as leverage. i.e. Rust to get into blokchain/crypto. Julia to get into Bigdata, AI and ML. Kubernetes to get into DevOps/CI-CD etc.
