Career path : CFA, part time MFE student, 4 years of working experience with operation/middle office

Hi guys! Really struggle with career path at this point. Any advice would be appreciated!

A bit about my background: Bachelor degree on Engineering/Management 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. What career path would you recommend? Quant seems to difficult at least this stage, is there any other area that suits me?

Much appreciated!
