> Is it even possible to change if your in your mid thirties?
Yes! But you should anticipate an outcome where you bring some elements of your past career forward. I've seen some amazing career moves as a coach myself, but the best outcomes all brought forward some huge leverage points from the past, or involved going back to some past career aspects.
In some ways you could also say it's smart to take a break, try new things, and consider going back to your old career field with a new style and new mindset. Even if you don't use the new tech you learned, learning it can still change your existing career.
The modern-tech mindset is very much about idealism, which can be hard to sustain in engineering environments. So you may want to pay attention to the way your energy levels change with exposure to interesting new ideas.
If at all possible you should rank the fields in some subjective order, i.e. ranked by personal interest or logical application to personal goals.
