What type of position should I move to next?

Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle right now in terms of what position I should move to next. 

I started my career in credit ratings after college for a couple of years, had a brief stint in FP&A (not really for me), and then moved into fixed income sales and trading. Stupidly, I signed a non-compete with this company, and my salary is crazy low for the responsibilities. 

Where could I move next which wouldn't break my non-compete agreement (it is very enforceable)? I'd like to work at the next job for at least 2-3 years. I'm very familiar with structured finance as a whole, but can't do trading for the next couple years.
