I have not been out of university for all that long, and in the past I’ve worked in regular 1st/2nd IT support.

I now work for a different company in a slightly the specialised area of global communications, it definitely looks good on the CV because I have got much more responsibility and I deal with a lot of interesting gear.

However I now want to leave for various reasons but none related to my actual job role, infact I'm quite desperate to find a new place of work.

There are no similar jobs in my area except a few regular 1st Line IT jobs although admittedly they do not pay any less. Would it look bad on my CV if I went from a specialised part of support, back down the ladder?
