From Finance to Web 3 as a dev

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working in a wealth management firm in Europe. I’ve graduated 3 years ago and my comp is good but I can’t stand finance anymore. I’ve never been passionate about finance, I have only started finance because i didn’t know what to do back in the days and I thought it would be the easiest way to make a good amount of money.

On the other hand, I’ve always been passionate about Tech and new technologies especially the blockchain and AI. I really want to take a 180° turn and start a dev boot camp in order to work in the Web3 space. I want to leave Europe because there is more and more instability (security,economy,tax…) and set up myself in a APAC country.

Do you think this is feasible ?
