If you want a pay bump the easiest thing you can do is learn SQL. Just do bunch of practice problems and get comfy with it. It will take a few months at most. Then, when you apply for a job that requires SQL knowledge... well you lie about using it in your last role. If you're good enough with SQL to make it seem like you used it in your last role – no harm, no foul.

I'm sure you could do a few data analyst-y projects in your current role, even if they are side projects, that could propel you into a new career. Data analysts are a good relatively low barrier to entry into the tech world that get paid decently well and can open opportunities for other tech paths like machine learning, statistics and experimentation, or just moving to python-based programming.
