Breaking back into AM from FinTech?

Was part of a restructuring in a boutique AM (Research) a few years ago and decided to jump into a FinTech startup instead of getting another AM gig again or sellside.

Was pretty low on the totem pole (Analyst) but want to get back in. Any suggestions on how to make this pivot back?
