Navigating Career Transition

Hi all, would love to get your feedback on how to structure my job search! I studied chemical engineering in undergrad and ultimately decided that wasn't a fit for me and joined a startup after graduation. I was responsible for a myriad of functions across marketing, product development, and operations. I transitioned out of that role to a sales operations position at another startup. After a year there I decided to go back to my alma mater to help run the entrepreneurship program there. I have been there for about 3 years and recently graduated with my MBA. I am currently seeking a new position that allows me to put into practice skills developed through the MBA and that will provide more growth opportunities. I have been actively applying since June, but haven't made much progress. I'm interested in innovation consulting, corporate innovation, corporate venture capital, and product management. I feel like it's taking me a lot of time to find roles that I'm qualified for. Additionally, I'm currently based in Philadelphia but am open to moving for the right role. Any suggestions on how to structure my search? Currently struggling to manage such a broad search. Thanks for your input!

If you could do only one of the aforementioned items, what would it be? Pick a favorite, or atleast narrow it down to two favorites. Focus your search in that area, and then rank your findings according to what additional options that you are after, may be available with that job offering. And don't be afraid to apply for something totally off the wall, you may find a completely new career you love.

You're invited.
