Ive working on the AV industry for the last 4 years.
But I got hired for an actual Av company as a floor technical 3 years ago.
I have been doing a lot of shows as a A1 for the last two years.
I really got into it, and i would consider myself pretty knowledgeable about Audio systems.
My company is not hiring any specialist right now. I’ve been trying to apply on some other companies just to get a raise but nothing happens.

What would be next step to keep growing on this industry?
Should I have to get more years of experience?
Should I go somewhere else?

I would like to get a good feedback from you guys, I know for sure some of you have been in the same position before.

Thanks
