<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

I left an extremely competitive field for a job in a less competitive field where (I thought) I could further my skills with less barriers. Same type of role/skills, different industry. 

Well, I got my wish (sort of) and am a big fish in a small pond. While I've been working at the level I aspired to and am running my own projects and campaigns, I don't feel the work itself or the results will appeal to my prior field - we're too mom and pop at my current job.  

I've been reaching out to my contacts and putting out feelers but I don't feel I have anything demonstrable to show my value, let alone why I stepped out of my prior industry and why it would benefit them to bring my perspective back into the fold.
<bot>: my current job is a dead end for someone in their early mid-level career and I want to get back into a competitive field before I get stuck. Any thoughts?
