I would stick it out and switch teams or companies.

After 10 years, that probably puts you at the beginning of the 'less employable' age range. Starting over will require a substantial pay cut and may not be easy - nobody wants entry-level people.

If you do decide to switch, I would try to do it internally at the current company (whatever tech they have). Or pick the most common (employable) tech in your area.

Sobering thought to be getting to the less employable age range! 40th birthday coming up! Appreciate the reply!

I feel less employable and I'm about a decade younger.

Depending on your time horizon for retirement, I'd just stick it out. What's another decade of a job you hate?! - based on my own situation with at least 20 years to go.
