I am a mid-senior dev in a midsize company. Making ok\good for myself. I have a great work life balance. Therefore I am sticking to my job. Great motivation to stay. Underchallenged.

However, I do not grow any better. I do not learn things at the work. I do not have also motivation to do small projects out of the work(mostly because of lack of motivation, enthusiasm, and due to having no idea.). I also do not wanna obviously be sitting more in front of PC. I have slightly demotivating hybrid team, where people do not really talk to each other. so no sword sharpens another sword...

We are using good old c . I feel like I am wasting a lot of time that some others would use perfectly to sharpen themselves. This should supposed to be the time as I do not have wife and kids.

Has anyone ever felt the way I felt? What changed in their lives to have a good push? What would you, who has managing experience, suggest to me?
