Strategy to convert an ML role

Hey people of Grapevine, I have an MBA in finance and I'm currently working as a QA data analyst at Wells Fargo. I have a previous 1 year 3 months workex as an Android developer in a startup company (I'm a CS undergrad). The current role I'm working in requires coding in python to automate Excel files we get to check certain data standards for compliance and validate Excel files based on some standards. Mostly even manual validation of excel files. I want to switch my job to work in good ML projects with finance as my domain, for this I have made a strategy: 1. Get a FRM level 1 certification (for the CV to get shortlisted) 2. Learn ML on Kaggle and solve problem sets as a way to prepare for the interviews of ML roles. 3. I'm considering to get an FDP certification as well. () My concerns now are: 1. Is the above a valid startegy to crack a fin ML role? (please suggest if anything better) 2. Is FDP a good certification (I know it's not much heard of, but the curriculum is good) 3. What kind of companies and roles can I apply for if add these CV points and if I can get skilled in the above? Please do give me your inputs. Any kind of suggestions are appreciated.
