1 year Credit analyst experience with CFA III passed and Python/SQL skills: Career Path + Exit Ops ? (based in France now, open to other locations)

Hey, thanks for opening the discussion! 

I'm a graduate student from a top-tier business school in France. 
Now I have one year of experience as a quant developer and 1-year of experience as a credit analyst in a Fintech company (it's my current position).
I've also passed all three levels of the CFA exam and have coding skills/experience in VBA/Python/SQL (as a data analyst, not as a developer).
Neither French nor English is my native language, but I have a level of C1-C2 in both two languages. 
I find it's hard for me to compete with native speakers in writing credit reviews (ie. I depends a lot on grammar check applications... ). Maybe it's better to find a quantitative-related role. So I'm searching for an exit now. I'm good at math, and I'm willing to learn new things. 

I wonder what career paths can I follow? 


Thank you for any advice!
