I also realize that promotions are no longer a possibility for me. People are starting to wonder why I'm still a midlevel after 10 years.
Have you changed companies much (or at all) during that time? If not, maybe it's just time for a switch. Typically the best way to get promoted (or just get a decent raise) is to change companies, not to get promoted internally.
Thanks! I've been at the same company the whole time. I've been looking externally. Im not seeing much that's comparable pay/benefits/etc. I'd probably have to start over if I did switch because Filenet and Neoxam are obscure. Philly region sucks for tech work. I think remote work isn't a great option for me due to distractions.

Ah. Yeah, good point. That's unfortunate. I guess that's the danger of getting locked into a tech stack that isn't widely popular. Wish I had something useful to suggest for you beyond this. :-(
