Sounds like you burned out for a slow-moving enterprise that likely expects regular employee turnover. Also with 10 years of experience and still not having senior title is definitely not a great deal either. The goal-posts for developer titles have moved for some time now (junior, standard, senior, tech-lead/staff, senior staff, etc. etc.) and some have gotten senior title by just having few years of experience. Cultural variance across tech / IT companies are still pretty wild.

You should look for medium or small companies that doesn't have a lot of bureaucratic management layers if you want more direct feedback on the effort you put in. In my experience, success in large enterprises was usually helping your manager sell your project to rest of the company.

Anyways, you definitely should be looking for new opportunities while also cutting back on the amount of effort you put in your current company. General markets might be burning but demand for IT is still forever growing.
