Sounds like you are already doing more to improve than most!
>I'm not learning that much on the job anymore, just adding value to the company.
Do you feel like you are often the smartest person in the room where you currently work? If so, time to move some place where that isn't the case. I find working with people more skilled than myself is the fastest way to improve. Sure, your ego will take a hit, but it is worth it for the self-improvement benefits.
However, short of places like Google, I'm not sure how to go about finding a place with more skilled people. Can't know for sure until you are actually working there.

Lots of smart people at the US Digital Service currently: https://www.whitehouse.gov/digital/united-states-digital-service https://www.whitehouse.gov/digital/united-states-digital-ser...
- sadkingbilly 11y agoWhat if you're the smartest person in the room and also highly paid? It may be more strategic to stay put, save as much as possible, and spend your time getting intellectual stimulation outside of work.
- compostor42 11y agoI don't necessarily disagree. However, it sounded like OP was already doing a lot to get intellectual stimulation outside of work. He specifically mentioned not learning much on the job any more so that's why I recommended looking into a new job.
