I am 47 and working in IT industry for last 24 yrs. I am interested in finance/stock market and thinking if there is a way to switch to this area from software engineering. I do not have any academic qualification in finance. Is there a way I can switch (with some preparation/study) to equity research job? Will there be finance companies willing hire people with little experience at an age like this?

Ans: There's never something that's late for anything.. Better late than never.. Is an old adage!?

However don't ever re-invent the wheel. It's round and will be that way .

Software to finance is definitely a good long way off.. And at 47 ..it's suggested that you don't do it, unless you live on love and fresh air.

The equity research can be done by activating your DEMAT account and trying a few new things out!
Don't do anything more than that watch and evaluate your experiment!
