Ehh, if you’ve only been developing for 5 years I’d say that’s fairly standard. Think about other fields: after 5 years practicing medicine you’re barely out of residency and still working 24 hour shifts doing the dirty work no one else wants to do. After 5 years as a lawyer you’re likely still an associate working 90 hours a week doing the same.

Just focus on learning new things as much as you can. Whether that’s from more senior guys at work or in your own time with side projects, all that matters is you learn. Then start applying for new jobs. You’ll probably be disappointed at first with rejections and/or the pay they’re willing to offer, but that’s fine - their feedback will show you where you need to focus your efforts to improve.
