Need career advice / decision help.

Hey Everyone - long time reader here.

Quick background on me.

CUNY, 3.1 GPA, Econ Major, studying for gmat , been working in Compliance at Top BB , doing AML/Risk related analysis/investigations/trade surveillence.

Prop traded previously for 6 months at no name garbage shop, have 3 years market investing/trading retail experience overall - focused on tech/price action - not profitable to live off of need more time - however I needed $$$ badly.

Anyway, I got a compliance gig a year ago, i am one of the top, if not the top performer in my group, however having said that yes- i along with eveyrone and their mother- want to get into S&T, trading especially commodities or forex.

I am soon to be 24 years old, and I was wondering in what direction I should go to make this happen, I am definitaly thinking of doing another 1 year here, to get the " min. 2 years xp finance req." for back up for future jobs.. I can possibly / probably would get up to a high rank here in my current group/dept. since they see potential in me, but I am too hungry for more and want more challenges,

QUestions:

Should I do 2 years here, then aggressively look for a entry level traidng position at a competitive MM / boutique ? Take a possible salary hit ? ( im just below 80 )

Will working in current role reduce my chances of goin into FO trading, since I will be looked " compliance guy" too late to train him - type of guy ?

Take GMAT - do MBA/MSFin part time ?
( i need income i cant quit working)

Sugggestions - if any ?
