PMO
Focus on the OUTCOME

If I were you, Id remain at my current firm, grow your skill set, and try to get staffed on non PMO engagements to increase your market value. Especially given today's economy and labor market.
Not being snarky but saying this as someone with 10 years of prior PMO experience: Executive Assistant/Admin assistant are the closest to PMO from a knowledge and task standpoint, but probably not in the pay range youre looking for.
If you take away project plans & Gantt charts, youre basically left with scheduling meetings, coordinating calendars, taking meeting minutes and action items - all EA work.
Thus, PMO roles typically only translate to other PM roles unless you already have relevant experience in the industry for which you are applying (e.g. payer/provider, lifesciences, or pharma roles prior to PMO).
Tying back to my recommendation, see if you can get staffed as an individual contributor on non-PMO engagements to set yourself up for a more lucrative exit in the future.
