financial engineering risk management prospects

being from an engineering background I want to get into HF and this is a relevant course that I can switch to, as I meet the prerequisites almost everywhere. and have a minor in data science, and also have intermediate knowledge about machine learning, and have also made a project to predict stock prices using neural networks, when such a transition is happening, everyone doing work from home, does being both tech and finance guy help? and can they get into PE/HF
