Laid Off from Tech- Looking for a Job back in Finance

Hey all-

I have about 6 years of working experience, just about 5 of that is in FinTech as a Strategic Finance/ Business Development Manager. Before that I spent a year in Investment Banking at a large BB.

In Jan my company did cut backs, and I am finding it impossible to get another job. Typically I would move to FinTech again, however it is proving to be extremely difficult. I considered breaking back into Finance because that is where I have foundational knowledge, but many networking attempts and referrals fall short because they see 5 years of FinTech and immediately pass.

Anyone have any recommendations on roles / firms that might make sense to check out? It does not need to be IB- I would be open to many different roles in Finance just to start working again and rebuilding my career.

Thanks!
