Changing Job from Technology to Finance

[babai]

Hi,

I got a job offer in a social media technology company(Google/Facebook etc.) as a data scientist. My interest was in quantitative finance, but did not got any offer(from a mid level school). I was wondering whether it is possible to change job from this to finance later?

Take the job. Big data skills will be valuable down the road.

Decent ranked state school, not close to NY, Chicago etc. Good dept, but prof are not connected with the industry etc etc. Although that is my opinion.
