Hello, I'm working as a web developer for a public school system. I have 7 years of experience working for non profits and school districts. My tech stack includes html, js, css, jquery, php, mysql, rest, wordpress plugin development. I know OO Java and am a newbie one python. I'm happy for now but I don't see any opportunities to growth in this company. I want to go to market but don't feel ready and feel like never gonna be ready. I do leetcode, hackerrank and daily interview questions, they look so hard and I'm having hard time even understanding them. But I do my job with high quality, my work is satisfactory. I mostly do internal apps so I can't create a portfolio. What should I do? Should I learn a new language that's popular now? I enjoy working on the back end than front. Thank you.
