I have only been in my current role for a handful of months, and frankly, I need to put out more work to get the kind of creds I need to command legitimacy in a design role. Before, I spent years as a SME on a different set of technologies - in a non-pandemic world, I may drop back to that world and do consulting. Right now, though, I have a great team, a great manager, and decent pay, so given all the volatility in the world I am taking what I can get until I feel a bit safer moving around.

That makes sense -- I guessed it more something like this. Thanks for the response.
