Best path for electrical engineering salary/growth wise?

Hello!

New to this subreddit, would like to hear opinions.

I finished my bachelors, (renewable energy engineering) started working as a project designer/engineer in the solar and BESS field around the start of my fourth year. Still work at the same company, about to graduate my masters in power engineering (completely free).

I am not happy with neither my salary, nor my job. I get to sit all day in autocad or word, doing the same boring project stuff, my growth skill wise feels stagnant. I don't feel challenged enough. I make around 1.5k after taxes (this is eastern europe, so wages are usually smaller than in the west).

I was thinking of trying to go into automation or more of a power grid job. I am still 24 years old, so there's plenty of time to get a decent salary, but I am not sure what path to follow. I am way more interested in calculating/using logical thinking than being an autocad zombie everyday.

Another problem is, this is my first job, and leaving would feel like disappointing my lead engineer, and just guilty overall. It took me two and a half years to even configure my linkedin. this sounds dumb in hindsight, but i was genuinely afraid of looking "ungrateful"

I am hoping to hear some advice or personal experiences
