This is the problem I've got at my current job. While I try my best to write code in a way that it'd work many years ahead, the lack of scale requirements and relatively freedom I've got on my own decisions are double edge sword most of the time. Would love to work in a large shop with more senior people than am.

Both kinds of experience are so valuable. "Consulting shop" experience where you get to play with a lot of stuff, often very cutting edge stuff. "Long lived legacy app" experience where you really get into the nuts and bolts of engineering some software, but you are often locked into a particular stack and the cutting edge is your enemy and not your friend. Can suck big time when you look for your next job and your skills are 5, 10, whatever years out of date...
