What to do after 4+ years at family office/wealth management?

Hey guys, I just moved back to the U.S. (NYC) from Europe after working in a family office/wealth management company for several years in Europe. I did my graduate degree out there as well and so don't have much of a network in the U.S. After working several years in wealth management/family office, what do you recommend I search for in the U.S.?

Is it advisable to go to a bank like JPM or to search for smaller boutique firms? I'm a bit lost, especially given that I don't have so many contacts in NYC - I'd appreciate some direction or advice on what I should look for.
