By far the easiest way to do so will be to find another job. If you can't do this, yea, mentality will lock you in to positions you don't want to be in.

The problem is that the new employer looks for CVs of those who achieve flashy things not those who fix things.

Fixing things only gets notices by coworkers and good managers.

Agreed that could be a problem. Seems like a benefit in disguise, though—such an employer is likely not to manage a product well.
