looking for some advice to where to even start looking at other options...

Assuming you're interested in the tech & start-up space; begin attending meet-ups, conferences, and workshops. You will get more out of live 1:1 conversations with people working in the field than any bogus 'career fair'. Incidentally, this is how you strategically build a new network and uncover hidden job opportunities.

For a deeper exploration on making a career change, recommend Dan Miller's 48 Days book, good food for thought> http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/74022.48_Days_to_the_Work...
