1. Think what title you would like to have in your next job (e.g., Senior Staff Engineer, Senior Eng. Manager, etc.) 2. Use your work hours (30% of them? Depends on your workload) to learn what's needed to be comfortable assuming that future role (e.g., read tons of books, learn about relevant tech stack used nowadays, etc.) 3. When you feel ready (let's say, in 9 months), start looking for a job with that specific job title you want. Make sure in your resume you highlight that you know X and Y and Z (skills relevant to the position you're applying): you can put this as part of your current job.
