CFA Opportunities

Currently working at financial data provider.  I began working client support, worked my way up to account manager, and after receiving the CFA charter 6 months ago moved into a role as product specialist for our factor and quant investment research platform.  Pay is ok, 90K with bonus but I suspect I could be doing better. 

Realistically, what kind of jobs would I be eligible for with my current credentials?  I'm passionate about markets but I'm aware my real-world analytical experience is lacking.  Trying to figure out where to focus my energy, learning math/quant skills, fundamental analysis modeling, pursue an MBA, or just work at exceling in my current role.  Appreciate any and all advice.
