Product Design Engineer (6yrs exp) considering a career change. I loved my job and performed well, but I quit after discovering that they were defrauding customers. Unemployed 5 months now. There are very few local jobs in my field (MO USA), and I will not relocate. But there is a shortage of MEP Engineers. Do I start back at entry-level in MEP? Keep looking for a product role? Or return to my old employer?

MEP is great if you want to stay local, they are always in demand, but some firms treat it as a race to the bottom. I recommend a firm that works on bigger long-term projects, not one that does one-week turn-and-burn projects
