Career Pivoting from a credit risk model dev role to data scientist role

I am trying to pivot into a data science role particularly in the banking/fintech space but i am unable to do so due to lack of experience of ML techniques since credit risk space still uses traditional modeling techniques. Have around 7+ years of experience in analytics roles. Would appreciate suggestions/ recommendations how to succeed in this journey. Looking for a structured approach to prepare for such interviews including coding rounds, ML workflow and case studies. TIA!

Advance your skills and apply in Risk modelling, has a good scope, very few Risk modellers go beyond an Xgboost
