Wrong REPE Career Move - Need Advice Please

Hi all - First time posting, would love some general feedback. For background, I'm 5 years post college. Spent ~1.5 years in brokerage then moved to a well-respected firm (top 50 PERE but not megafund) doing generalist acquisitions for 3 years where I started as an analyst and left as an Associate. Got frustrated with the culture and comp and made decision to join a smaller firm <$1.5bn in AUM that plays in LMM to MM space. I now realize this wasn't the right choice (not a ton of deal flow, skews more LMM than previously believed, ok on capital for now but may not be in future) and now I want to go back to a larger fund. I took a few months off before starting this job and have been working in new role for ~3 months. Will I be able to get back into the institutional world? How long should I stay at this current firm without raising red flags to future employers?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
