I think we need more information in order to provide useful advice. What non-work things have you done with your time in the past two years?

spent 6 months at part-time language school.

spent 1-2 months learning a new technology.

Off topic, but did you find that the part time language school helped move the needle on your progress? I think about that sometimes.
