What cert/training are you working on? Red Teaming is kinda niche and requires (think "Taken"), a "special set of skills". Depending on the program you are currently in and how well they actually support a real internal red team, you may want to invest more time there as it's not particularly easy to come by. That said, if your growth has stagnated you should absolutely see what else is out there. If it was me, and I was early in my career and didn't care too much about money in the short term I'd apply for infosec roles in the military, NSA, CIA, etc... You get to do the REAL stuff there and after putting in your time you could easily come back to commercial industry and make a killing.

it's the OSWE, and I'm not a US citizen, so I don't have those options

OSWE is a legit training/cert. Good luck! I too am kinda working on it but need to dedicate real time to it one day. As for being non-US, maybe your country has their own version of these things you could look into =). Beyond that, consulting may be your next best bet as youll see lots of environments, work fast-paced and presumably have senior folks you can learn from.
