Thanks for the advice. I think if I was more articulate I could have transitioned into a lead front end developer but due to my nature, plus English not being my first language I don't think this will happen. It's as though I am filling the role of lead and dev at the same time: delegating work to myself.

For what it's worth, from your original post and comments, I couldn't tell that English isn't your first language. At least in written mediums, it seems you've got a firm grasp of the language. About the job, I'm not sure if the issue is the type of job, or more just the particular workplace and workload. Is it possible that the same position elsewhere wouldn't come with the same "constantly fighting fires" type of issues?

  I couldn't say for sure. I think the demands of agency work are probably greater and perhaps more stressful than those of a client based position. Due to working with many teams, unless you are really good at saying "no" and justifying it, then you may find yourself as a critical juncture for each team - as they all depend on you in some way to meet their deadlines.
