I worked at a larger credit union. I was a regional manager overseeing 130 people and ten branches. I managed about 2 billion in assets. Sales and service had massive growth in my area. How can I leverage this into a position at a smaller credit union. (Most credit unions are the size of my region). I am running into problems getting I front of people. Thanks for any advice or referrals. I am based in utah.

Got laid off. Got a new offer two weeks later. It’s not remotely what I see myself doing for long. but the team leader is great. I’m in early stages with my dream companies. Not sure what to do.
