Management/Strategy Consultant pivot to private banking / wealth management?

I have ~4 years experience as a management consultant at a regional boutique consulting firm (current associate, on track for promotion engagement manager in the next year). Have recently started to be more interested in a private banking / wealth management role.

  1. Is that insane to consider that pivot?
  2. Is that pivot even possible?
  3. Pros/Cons?

Thanks all!
