Thanks for your advice, so far. I feel like FRM or CAIA could be low hanging fruit after CFA, so why not go for them? Any comments on that? Am I wrong? Anybody seen an employer demanding both?

im in the boat where i KNOW there are TONS of people making BANK without an MBA or CFA.

so i figure the CFA (which is considered the gold standard in my field, ER) is enough in addition to my finance undergrad and now its just about becoming the best at what i do, end of story.

no amount of credentials will help you make money if you're not actually good at your job, which is where my focus is aimed for the foreseeable future.

instead of studying for exams, im just studying Ks, Qs, and data

I was in a similar position as you, and am doing a research Masters part-time, which I'm hoping to convert to a Doctorate after a year.

After finishing the CFA last year I just wasn't too keen for any more exams and the idea of doing some research seemed like a good change and a nice challenge.
