I think I understand you, I'm a junior web developer and the first company I worked for had old technology running in their system and they were just starting to research on new technology to be used in their system at the time, that's when I was hired to be a regular full-time SSDD(same sh*t... you got it) developer.
I saw that they were trying to add this new technology to their agriculture ERP and I started researching it at home knowing that they would have to have someone to help them with that, long story short, they officially announced at the company that the head of the company was looking for someone to help them with that new technology, and they asked the whole company if anyone had some kind of experience with that new tech and I was like: "I do!"(I'm a sneaky lil' B), I got promoted and the head of the company gave me a bunch of perks (it was a small business).
In my humble opinion you should try to get involved, as you said this is a slow company, so it might be easier to make the difference than in a bigger company, I'm not saying I did, but I wouldn't leave a company like yours(I left my first one because I had to move :( otherwise I would still be working with them to this day).

I'm working in a company with a good reputation, great environment with constructive attitude in all colleagues, no stressful deadlines, and a competitive salary.
The downside is that their technology is really old. They are now slowly introducing a bit of new technologies, But the tasks to migrate to those technologies have been given to other colleagues who have better social skills, or are in a more stable position in the company.
I'm not convinced to leave because I'm concerned that I'd end up somewhere that might have better technology, but a bad environment, with a lower salary, and regretting having left this employer.
I've been here for over 2 years now and am increasingly concerned that I'm not progressing, and that moving on to companies with newer and better technologies may be more difficult the longer I stay here.
I feel like I'm stalling and even regressing.
What would be a wise move for someone in my situation?
