Office based roles

Hi all. Excuse the wall of text, I never seem to be able to format things properly on Reddit lol. I'm looking for advice and your stories about transitioning out of field work to more office-based work. I have 8 years of industry experience with plenty of field work under my belt but now I'm 100% office based in government. I won't have this job for much longer and looking at going back to industry. However, I'm not willing to go back to 100% field rotations or moving to small isolated towns. It's not for me and my family anymore. I've been applying to more senior roles or more GIS focused roles but I'm not getting anywhere. I think for the GIS roles I'd need to take some courses. Any recommendations? What about resource estimation, are there practical courses for that? What other paths have you all taken?
