Why do you want out?

Sounds like you have a comfy, easy, copy+paste way to make a living with good income you can use to pursue serious passions - that's the dream. At the end of the day, it's just a job.

This is also the fundamental problem hiring managers/directors/recruiters face. Engineers are good at identifying patterns and patterns in different apps across different industries like CRUD apps is one of them. Once an engineer realizes many of these companies are doing similar things, there aren’t really compelling reasons to leave. Sure there are “mission” values of a company but really when it comes down to it as long as its not that industry (which will vary per personal experience) then as long as people are treated decently why leave?
While I do run a separate business on the side (brewing drinks), it does not help if the "job that makes the money" has close to no excitement.

Getting through work hours is just that much harder.
