Pursuing the CFA at 31

Hello everyone,

I am a 31 years old professional who works in the field of geopolitical research and would like to make a career shift toward asset management or equity research. I am seriously considering the CFA, however, I have few concerns:

1- Is a career shift possible at 31/32?

2- How to manage my time as a fulltime professional?

3- What is the best prep provider?

I will be happy to hear your thoughts on the points above. Should I do it? How can I address the concerns above?
