Hey Fishes, is it possible to switch to PM after 15 years in tech

Have any of you made a switch after working for a few years? When I started undergrad I wanted to work with renewable energy. Not at all disappointed to be in aerospace but I want to explore a pivot. Something like wind or wave power seems like it would be much riskier but also has more room for innovation.

Wondering about potential exit/in-house opportunities for different practice groups. I’m currently in big law and choosing between general corporate deal work (M&A/PE) and tech transactions. Do either of these give better in-house (or other) opportunities later on?

Can anyone speak to the presence of impact investing across PE versus VC or HF?

For context, I’m going for my MBA next fall (targeting M7) and want to pivot into impact-focused finance but am struggling to understand which option is best. I’m going in with 3 years of tech consulting experience (data & analytics) in the financial services industry.
