You may try study up on data and analyics and then leverage your experience to get a contract where you can work remote, shoot for a 1 yr gig, at a lower end rate $50/hr. - you should be able to gross 100k for the year. This will get you enough experience to be able to get it on your resume. Then rework your resume, highlighting data analyst (entire 1st page of your resume should be this job) - and a long history of 'data' work (pg 2 of your res).. Use that to get a permanent job with a consulting co. You may have to travel but you can live anywhere. Perm job with a bank they may want you local. Not a fan of working for banks personally, I've found the culture to be probably the worst amongst industries.
