Design after an MBA?

A little background on me: I was a software engineer for 6 years and felt completely burned out. I had considered moving to the product side of things for years, at one point having drafted my resignation letter do the design immersive at General Assembly. Last year, I decided to go back and get my MBA, hoping to get into product management a little easier.

I'm less hot on product management than I thought I'd be. At my school I've had a lot of opportunities to take design classes; I've taken about six total, and have enough things to make a decent portfolio. I've thoroughly and enjoyed all of them; design seems to combine what I like about product management (solving problems for users) with "hard" design skills (composition, typography, etc).

I'm worried about how to frame myself. I guess technically I'm a junior applicant, but I've been getting denied from junior jobs because I have too many years of experience, even though its unrelated. More mid-level jobs will give me a screen, but then say I don't have enough years of design experience (fair). The CS degree and MBA also seems to be muddying the waters.

What all should I do to position myself better? What sort of jobs should I be looking for? What levels? #design #mba #ux #productdesign
