Career move - tech audit to IB

Career tech auditor here (5.5yrs), have moved to another L2 risk dept a year ago. I have a total of 12 yrs experience in network implementation plus audit. 36yrs old, and now I see I do not have much saved up for a rainy day or to maintain my standard of living if inflation goes up. Graduated from the US with a masters in compsci but was thrown into audit as international students are not given a lot of choice in cyber space, which turned out to be a good thing for me as I came to know about IB/IM/GM.Given this, and also given that I suck at coding (strats and quants are out of the list), is there a good way to transition to the business side of IB? Came to know about TS/TAS in another post. How viable is that for me? Willing to put in work to achieve my goal.
