Look at Career Accelerators like Formation.dev (disclosure: I'm the cofounder of this program), Interview Kickstart, Pathrise, Coachable, Outco. These programs are expensive and might not be for you, but if you are looking at bootcamps you should also consider these.
These kinds of programs aim to prepare you for interviews and fill in various weaknesses you might have in levelling up. They all work well for highly motivated people by acting like a coach to get you across the line. Most of these programs are also part time and focus on people currently working.
If you are really far behind it's possible an advanced bootcamp like Codesmith could help. A bootcamp is a huge time commitment and somewhat of a waste if you are already a competent coder.

I already did a bootcamp and don't want to do another. That's how I got this job. And I don't have a whole lot of disposable income right now.

I would try to make a job change then, even if it's lateral. It might open up some new opportunities and can't hurt to interview for some places and see how it goes.

Could you take a look at my resume?

1. 2 years at a company is very solid and will help a ton, but try to add some of the impact/accomplishments you had and not just what you did. i.e. measurable results, or truly notable projects or accomplishments you had.
2. Consider removing bootcamp, since you have a CS minor

I've never seen or heard about metrics relevant to my work in 2 years there. It's just not a thing. My boss has talked about overall project metrics occasionally, but only in terms of how fast we get through them or how many bugs we've solved. I'll have to rack my brain to come u

I mean that might be part of the challenges too, and I would try to take initiative to do a project that will be notable for the future if you can. and asking questions like 'why is this project so important' when it's being formulated. or start by finding out the impact of your work. companies aren't charities so you must be generating more value for the company than your salary and your work has to mean something!

Sometimes I wonder if my job is unusual or if all dev jobs are as rote as mine

I strongly believe an engineer should - on the whole - not feel bored and if you do, you aren't being utilized for your full potential. Getting out of that though might be harder than the day to day work for your next job, but if you can gather than the motivation to do so, I would love to see you in a better spot!
