Value of Coding Skillset Combined with M&A Background
Title. I've got almost 6 years of experience in various M&A roles including IB. Have a solid foundation from this and quite a few closed / nameable deals on CV across a couple jobs. I'm generally miserable in my current role and hate the corporate life and want to quit / strike out, and no typical finance exit opps appeal (PE, CD, IB, CF). Sure something like CD might have better hours but it's still dealing with politics, BS, and corporatism.
I want to be my own boss but no ideas, risk appetite or network extensive enough to start business. I'd like to think I'm a pretty smart guy but probably not creative, just a good structured thinker. I also have a lot of things I want to do in life that don't revolve around work, and dream of living the life my Software Engineer friends live (some freelance, work remote in chill jobs, some are on way to become entrepreneurs which their coding skillset suits them well for).
I'm in late 20's and quite a few years out of undergrad business school and have ZERO background in software engineering/coding/quantitative sciences, so obviously can't compete with the nerds who've been dedicating their whole life to cracking the coding interview at Google. But let's say hypothetically I quit my job and get some background in say coding or data science (again, not Jane St./Google savant level), either self-taught Python or masters degree in data science / analytics or something. Is there an "angle" that I'd have with that combined M&A/data/coding skillset? Have you seen people who've combined these and been successful/marketable? What jobs fancy this kind of background if any?
