Move from tech to trading

Hello everyone. I am a business analyst at Amazon graduating in March. Bachelor’s in finance and MSc in statistics. I am studying to join as applied scientist at Amazon and in 6/7 months I should be able to change role. I am still really uncertain on what to do in my life and one of my biggest regrets is not having done a finance internship. I was wondering, if I work as an applied scientist at Amazon for 2/3 years and decide to move to trading it is feasible or it is better to try to make the move immediately ? Do you know anyone that joined trading later in life ?

Regards.
