It wouldn’t be fair to have your felony conviction negatively impact your opportunities. This is how justice works right?

Nope, it’s smart. Leaving sentencing until after the election also keeps the Supreme Court out of it before the election. You can bet your boots they would have fast-tracked any appeal and nullified the sentence somehow before the election.
If trump gets elected he’ll just pardon himself or whatever machinations transpire where he won’t be sentenced at all.

He can’t do that. These are state crimes.

He has no authority to pardon non-federal crimes.

True. But that is based in logic and the assumption that laws follow strict “rules” and well…
