This is so different from my first job experience, I can't imagine a more night and day comparison. I literally got stuck at a desk and had no mentoring at all, team meetings were blind leading bling into ditch, and all work was 100% individual. Nobody would have helped me even if I had asked, they probably would have told me to fuck off since they had their own tickets. Since I am really introverted and flat out don't like dealing with people, this was pretty nice for me, bu being remote during the whole thing would have been heaven. I'd still be working there if that were the case.

To your question, what do you want to learn? I can tell you that if you want to broaden out, just do projects in new languages/frameworks. If you want to learn technique, I would suggest you go find quality academic publications on the topics you want. The chances that your teammates are anywhere near as "good" as what you might observe in such books is honestly very low. Most engineers are mediocre, that is just a fact, so your team may not be imparting as much wisdom as you feel it is. I know mine didn't.
