Help Finding my Next Career Step

I’m struggling to find a new job (complete career change) but I feel that I am qualified, idk what I’m doing wrong, or what I can do differently. Here’s a rundown of me…

I’m 29 years old and have a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. I graduated Dec 2021 with my Biochem degree and I have extensive Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry research experience. While attending undergrad, I worked as a part time teller at a bank. When I graduated, I was offered a promotion at the bank and decided to stay there for the time being. I have been promoted a total of 5 times over the past 3 years to my current position, Branch Manager & Licensed Investment Banker. I am phenomenal in sales, management, and developing client relations. But I have found my earnings potential in the bank is rather limited, and it will take me a while to be promoted again. Also, the bank has started making some changes that I don’t agree with.

So, I decided about 4-6 months ago to start looking for other careers. Looking to take advantage of my degree and research background as well as my management/sales experience from the bank to go into medical sales, pharmaceutical sales, chemical sales, industrial sales, equipment sales, etc…. I’m pretty open to about anything lol. But I do not want to go into insurance sales, financial advisor, financial planner, or another banking job… but I have thought about Private Equity (I just don’t have an accounting degree or a CPA License that appear to be required).

My resume is very impressive and strong and I have been submitting applications like crazy. But I’m not hearing back from potential employers, or if I do, it’s “although very impressive, we regret to inform you…”

Currently at the bank, my base is $65,000/yr, with the POSSIBILITY of another $10k-$15k of bonus (which is VERY hard to attain).

I want to get into a position with a base of at least $85k-$100k plus additional commission/bonuses.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to why I’m not hearing back, getting interviews, or ideas on what industry/position I should try to go into?

Thanks in advance!
