Looking for advice on job search

I am two years out of a target school with a 3.5 GPA in a quantitative major. I did a corp fin rotational program, and I’m now an SFA. Current job I’ve automated to a point that I can work from home 3 days a week and do nothing and meet all my deadlines. I’m considering my next move. My knowledge of Excel, VBA and SQL is solid but of course there is still a lot that can be learned. I have been thinking that I could try for an IA role at a PE firm or do something like Corp Dev at a Growth PE firm. Other thoughts are to look for a Senior Data Analyst role or to take an intense six month boot camp on my work from home days in Software Engineering and then break into that field. Looking for advice on these options, not afraid or concerned about really digging into something to learn and improve job prospects
