I would love to work in tech. I don't have a ton of experience aside from a few introductory informatics courses in university, but I've always found it fascinating. I think it'd be fun and mentally stimulating, but that's probably just grass is always greener thinking. Work is work at the end of the day.

If I didn’t have to worry about money or qualifications, own and operate a music venue or be a tour manager.

Otherwise maybe try to pivot into a company focused on AI or automations. I don’t have the tech background, but the industry interests me and I think risk management experience in banking could translate well into risk management at an AI or automation company.
