I've hit "good" salary 7 years ago. I'm at a point where I'm trying to go up the ladder. My time on the job doesn't match my title or knowledge or exposure to important experiences. My peers have leveled up in knowledge and responsibilities...I've just kept getting raises and I've missed out on growing. I'm starved for knowledge and challenges.

The roles I'm going for are actually interesting and looking to the future which is why I'm bummed out about where I am.

I go where the interesting projects are.
