No idea what you mean by “credentials aren’t insane.” The requirements aren’t high, or your record isn’t strong, or…? Actually, clarification on what you consider “matching resume” would be good too.

I've been exploring exit opportunities for a few months and still holding out for the right opportunity.

My resume clearly says I've got 10yrs experience and an MBA. I **don't think* I should be getting offers of 80k-100k
