I was a midlevel dev filling the role of a tech lead.
It lead nowhere. They outsourced the product I supported. Then I started over on another obscure tech/stack and they cut the headcount 50%. Then I started over again on a more mainstream tech/stack.
So 3-4 years later, here I am. Still a midlevel dev. No real opportunities. Working a job I hate to support my family. But I guess I don't really count since they never officially promoted me.
