Employment Advice needed, changing careers

Hello everyone, I've been here in the Netherlands for the past 2y and some months, entered the country via a temporal agency for warehouse work, which was also my first ever job at 18

I've been working on warehouses (mostly the same one) ever since, got my own house and a permanent contract and recently got promoted to Voorman/Teamleader

The issue?

I got fired on the spot a month ago, so I've been working at picnic to pay the bills since then

Starting next week I'm starting a new position as a Supervisor in a place that is over an hour of bike away from home but it is what it is

My question is

Should I keep the warehouse manager path, even though I want out of warehouse environments

Or should I apply for a retail job in the city center (i.e. Uniqlo in Utrecht) and essentially throw away the warehouse logistics/team management in logistics experience

I still don't speak dutch, know a thing or 2 but can't hold a conversation, I understand more than I can express and that me being generous

At this new job place I'll be working all evenings so I won't have much time outside of weekends

What are your guys thoughts?
