I am 33 IT Business Analyst Senior.
Earning : 7.1k/month in Penang.
3 years in this MNC. Previously also MNC with 9 years experience.
Previously had a team leader/supervisor role in the dept but due to being unable to go up to a managerial position I departed. Now I am not in a leadership role.

The longer I work, the more I think what I am doing is very menial and not really learning anything new. I launch applications throughout the world for the MNC, work on the development a bit. In terms of technology I do am not an expert in it just have to know the application well on the front end and help the site users to troubleshoot and ways to upgrade the system to suit their needs. I am finding it hard to find new jobs cos I don't fit into the technical skill-sets of the job they list out.

7.1k for a 33 year old seems very little to me.
I used to earn better income than my peers but since the past 5 years i am crawling while they seem to be climbing up as managers and what not.

How to get out of this Rut?

I am thinking of jumping ship to PM roles or managerial roles (not looking only in terms of salary), which seems to be quite hard for the time being. I guess need to endure for now and send our more resumes.
