Career advice from legit sys admins

I've been working in M365 support since 2023, handling issues related to Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, and Office apps. I’m confident in what I do, customers often appreciate my help and have even sent emails to my manager recommending me for raises, but nothing has come of it so far.

Lately, I’ve been feeling stuck. The pay is low, and I don’t see much growth where I am. I’m 27 now, and I really want to do something bigger with my career. I’m not sure if I have it in me to learn programming from scratch, but I do want to earn well and build something better for myself. I just need to figure out what direction to take. I wonder if others have felt the same way at this point and managed to break out of it.
