You've likely touched a bunch of industry verticals. Pick one that is heavily regulated. Get a credential that has status with the regulatory agency. Sign on with a consultancy that needs someone who can translate tech-speak for corporate executives and ameliorate regulatory concerns through the power of technology. Boring but stable.

That's where I ended up. Regulated industries value experience more than let's say startups. And they have a lot of people who are stuck in a rut so you can quickly stand out as the innovative one.

  In my experience (2 years at a medical device manufacturer) those people will drag you down into their rut and make sure you don't climb back out!

    It depends on where you are but so far I feel that hasn't happened. But it's definitely a struggle.
