Join a law firm with a strong public policy practice like PLR, Ikigai, Dua that will value your experience, even if you are not joining them to do public policy work.
I was miserable intellectually (honestly, public policy is only slightly better, if at all), but so happy with the job security. I went in for the law firm knowing I will exit as soon as my financial goals are met. I think of moving back to policy as buying back time for the things I want to do since it cannot possibly eat away all my waking hours, and I will get time to read, think and write in future.
I guess it depends on identifying and balancing what you need and want to do from your life
It is very difficult. You are working in a very satisfying field, please dont start running after money now. If at all, you want a change, then join a legal clinic.
