12 years senior SDE, not making progress

I'll keep it simple. I have been a developer for about 12 years and have been in the NY area for most of those years.
I meandered into hedge funds and have been consulting with hedge funds and Fintech firms for the last 6 years. But, this has severely stagnated my career.
Java, C#, Python, Angular, Messaging and rdbms + Nosql has been my tool stack mostly.
What should I focus on for the next 1 year, so I can pitch myself to a broader employer base?
Tc: $250k
Yoe: 12

I will fine-tune my approach for the Algo questions too. Im focusing on the optimal solution and eventually end up with code that's not completely there.
I'm failing the system design rounds
I have high YOE just like you and last few years at Meta taught me a lot.
Other non-FAANG companies have say too many newer tech in their requirements for me to get an interview call.
