CFA, Part Time MFE Student, 4 Years Of Working Experience With Operation/Middle Office

Cool, intend to use this thread as my tree hole post. About to share my background, struggle, high and low of life. I would genuinely appreciate anyone's input. AND LETS NETWORK my current team has an immediate opening (not fancy or exciting but you can get in the door)

Background: Bachelor degree on Engineering/Management from top 2 university in China, non-target MBA in US and currently enrolled in a top MFE program in US on part time basis. 4 years of experience with major bank middle office in operation role. Getting CFA was not difficult for me but currently MFE is quite challenging and leading to lots of anxiety. Actively looking for opportunities in NJ/NY.

08/10: for the 2nd time decided to pick up python from scratch. Got a bit distracted during daytime thinking about how to persuade my manager to give me promotion during this Covid....
