You don’t want to be in “data science” at big 4, it’s all fluff. You go start ups or fin tech

Yes, Very possible

It's possible, depending on you having skills though.

Hi there. I have a friend at my firm who successfully pulled off exactly this kind of transition. We're hiring into our data analytics team now and are interested in people from a range of technical backgrounds. We should definitely discuss if you're looking to be in an analytics role.
