Tech recruiter here.

Choose to work in a domain you are familiar with.

If you have been an accountant, try to find an accountant software vendor who will hire you.

It won't be easy though. Ageism is my pet peeve. I think it is one of the biggest, yet forgotten-about discriminations in tech. Here a shameless plug of a video how much it annoys me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V6XMvtNKS8

Ex-finance guy here, though I went against the grain and didn't go for financial companies, trying to stay close to where you came from is a solid strategy. Especially if you have some sort of business experience and a level of maturity about you, a lot of companies will be quite eager to take you on because you know the field.
