yes, but you need a compelling story and to demonstrate you’re competent and not flakey.

As someone who’s done this, I don’t think you even need a compelling story. As long as you have a legitimate reason for switching and a firm/group is hiring and has the demand, you can retool (OP is already willing to take whatever class year cut is necessary to retool and that’s usually half the battle—and I’m assuming OP is willing to lateral if needed).
What do you want to switch to?

Do you really have to start back as a first year? Don’t you have some transferable skills?
