Transition from Tech -> Finance

Hi,

I have previously worked on the sellside for 5 years, then moved over to Big Tech after the crisis. Curious whether anyone knows of paths back to the investment buyside for someone quite experienced (13y) on tech side and with ML experience, but no previous alpha research experience ?

Any ideas welcome!
