I'd suggest you begin by asking what lifestyle you desire to live, financially, security, willingness to relocate to pursue your dream. Then, is my current job moving me in that direction...if so, be still, if not, course correction.
You refer to title a few times so I infer you to be status oriented???? If so, you may need to hone people/political skills and decide how far you are willing to push and the likes.
Finally, expect to have to 're-invent yourself numerous times and that can take its toll.
One more thing, do what you love and get paid to do it.

Do what you are good at and people will pay you for that work.

I appreciate your feedback.
The answer is yes to the above, and I plan to be still for today.
One of the natural progressions of my current position is having Jr., Mid-level, or Sr. incorporated in your title. Once senior status is attained, it's a matter of staying put in the position, or pushing to the next stage. Whether that is in a form of management, a more specialized technical position that is offered, or a complete change in career paths/employment change. I'm at the point where I am 1-2 years away from achieving Senior status and at a point where I certainly need to be planning the next step in mind.
