I know friends who have done it. They fall into two categories - (1) either they had the finance skills to begin with (e.g. double degree, or did their own learning), or (2) they begged for a chance to prove themselves and nearly died learning on the job.

Agree with this. Skillsets not just technical skills and aptitude. Also in certain industries not everything abide so closely to rule of law.
Age is another factor. Transitions across high intensity careers are better done when younger, as you need the energy to put in more hours to learn OTJ to just catch up with your competitive colleagues.
IMO there is more advantage to be in the law firm that works on different deals as you get overview across different companies.

Tech may be the hottest girl in the room right now, but that's quite analogous to finance 10-20 years ago. The environment is more aggressive now than before and fewer placeswhere you can coast on two hours, but the saving grace is that engineers are in general just nicer folks than bankers.
Don't think I earn much more than bankers a few years out of school, but work is likely more stimulating.
