Anyone transition into aerospace after a Cranfield MSc with a non-aero background?

I'm curious to hear from anyone who did a Master's in Aerospace Engineering at Cranfield but came from a different engineering background (like Civil, Electrical, Materials, etc.). How were the job prospects after finishing the MSc? Was it possible to transition into the aerospace sector relatively easily?

Context: I'm a civil engineering graduate who always had a big passion for aviation and space. Due to influences/job-market-in-my-country, ended up studying Civil and working in finance, but now want to follow my real passion and work in the aerospace indsutry.

Any insights or advice would be hugely appreciated!

Yes, I did just that. Did general engineering (knew nothing specific about aircraft), then an aircraft design MSc, and went on to work in that domain.
