It's a very frustrating point in your career, for sure. My suggestion - there are many companies out there that appreciate management experience coming out of intensive startup environments. Leverage your management capabilities combined with your technical expertise and look out for team lead positions either in startups from pre-seed to round A or in larger companies that disparately need new blood eager to make an impact. If you're good, at least within a startup, you'll be climbing up the latter towards group lead / director position in no time.
