The only way you can really do your own work is if you build the career capital (trust etc.) that is required to do that. If you've got it already, is this worth spending it on, or would it be better to spend it by moving to a place where you can do better work?

If your management has problems, and those problems haven't changed in 2 years, do you think they're going to soon? If they weren't going to change themselves, can you realistically change them? If you can't change them, does it make sense to stay?

The only real thing that matters is impact. Make sure your tasks are aligned to that (otherwise you just hit a promo wall that you're never going to climb over). Forget about everything else. If your tasks aren't aligned to wider impact in a way that leads to personal goals, leave.

The reality is good manager or not, you'll probably get pipped if you coast, or if you push too hard against the assigned work. Especially if you don't have social acumen to match your technical skills. Your perception of loyalty to your team is likely significantly more than the reality of your manager's loyalty towards you.

Don't make the mistake of staying too long. That's career suicide (been there done that a few times). Move on before you think it's the right time. Now is when you have the leverage. Make use of it. 2 years is enough to spend at a place unless you're chasing a decent RSU grant. Tech stocks are quite a bit down compared to 2 years ago, so regardless it's probably a good time to change jobs.
