H1b EB3 dilemma suggestions appreciated

Have been working as financial analyst for 2+years on h1b. no growth opportunity (too much politics) and salary ab 50k. Majored in Info Systems in bachelor's, always had aptitude for tech and want to switch to tech. I understand financial markets pretty well so my ideal job would be working in fintech.

Current company has agreed to file Eb3, but from what I understand this can take about 2 years. Currently have TPS, and not sure if I should switch to consultancy and start getting experience doing something I want to do in the long term (not to mention better pay)

Although company has agreed to sponsor EB3, I hate what I am doing and wish I could've just joined a consultancy after graduating.

Looking for suggestions from experienced guys out here:

1) Should I continue working on H1b? Assuming there is no PERM audit, application could still take 2 years (correct me if I'm wrong). Quit job, start entry level in tech and then move onto dream job.

2) Quit job, work on TPS EAD at entry level tech, gain experience, also get paid better and hope they sponsor for EB3 in a year
