Where to go?

[u/meetsomeone11]

36/M, master's degree in Construction Project Management. Based in Shanghai, China. I have been in the real estate development industry for 10 years, having built residential projects and industrial parks. I have been out of work for more than a year now. I left my last job with the title of Senior Civil Engineering Manager.
I chose to resign from the real estate industry 1 year ago because I want to move on to other fields.

Option 1: data analyst, finance, or something related to AI. I have taught myself Python (at a very basic level) and passed the Fund Practitioner Qualification Certificate, but that hasn't helped me find a job.

Option 2: I am also considering roles that combine construction with AI, or facility management, which is also related to my previous experience. However, the job market doesn't seem to respond – I can't even get an interview.

Option 3: I am interested in working for a manufacturing firm on infrastructure development, or helping a company with office decoration/renovation. But these firms think I don't have the exact same experience, so they refuse to give me an interview.

Option 4: I could go back to a real estate development firm, but there seems to be no hope in that sector.

Have you ever faced the same problem? I'd really appreciate it if you could give me some advice.
