I left a 🅱ig company and joined a startup. But now I'm having doubts. The tech is boring, and we don't have time / resources to invest in new cool solutions (no k8s, no cassandra, not even docker). We have great product, and our customers love us, but we're not huge and don't have much scalability problems. I joined thinking this would advance my career, but how would I even become a lead/mgmt if we're so small. At big company it was easy, work hard, give examples to your supervisor, if not in your team, I could always move to another team to have more responsibilities. But what do I do in a startup? Wait for my manager to leave? How should I best use my time here to advance my career? TC: €100k
You took that risk!
What is up with the solid B. I keep seeing it everywhere. Someone please clue me in?

When startups grow, opportunities and roles open up. When your startup grows, you'll find complexities growing and will have the opportunity to influence the direction the company takes with the valuable experience you bring to the table. When startups grow, your equity (generally) beats the equity that you get at large organizations. Point is, when your startup grows, you'll get all that you feel is missing today. Find out if your startup is growing or tanking and how confident you are about it. Then decide if you are willing to wait that long and take a risk with the hope that work will become more meaningful in times to come.

Enraged that kids prefer KPop to Bollywood. Installed cams in their rooms.
These sound like very basic questions you should've asked before even considering a startup. Wtf were you thinking?
I moved for family reasons, staying was not an option. How do I prepare myself now to be successful in the future?
If the main criteria was family, how are any of the things you mentioned relevant.
