Here’s a job search tip: take a 360 view.  When you have decided on an industry or sector, consider what is the thing that gets made? Who makes the thing? Who provides services to the industry?  Who regulates it?  Who helps with compliance? Where are the intersections?  By asking these questions, you will find the “white space” for your job search and identify those roles that others are not thinking about yet.  Big fish in a small pond principle.
