See you're familiar with the industry! Ha... Yeah I'm in software sales now. Still do some work in finance too as a side gig, consulting helping startups find VC funding, and wouldn't mind eventually taking that to full time. But yeah, jumped careers to software sales. Corporate financial analytics software specifically.

I’m a dev myself and have a somewhat similar story as you. I had an epiphany part way through college and was able to pivot to CS. Glad you found the path that suits you! People should never be afraid to start something new.

Man software devs are so cool! Most of the ones I meet have awesome life stories, or at least are pretty good at their jobs and make cool stuff on the side. Whereas I just stumbled my way through it. I'm not too bad of a dev but not great either
