Need advice on career opportunities for experienced

I've been working in the current organisation from 16.5 years and my total experience is 20 years in .Net and Azure (4 years). I feel my salary(<30 lacs) is par below industry average. I feel my salary is not a major concern for me as long as I see a career growth and work satisfaction. But the lack of good project opportunities and expectation from the management for me to support multiple activities (tecnical support for multiple projects, proposals etc) without a client billable opportunity lead me to search for a new job. I had unsuccessful job applications with TCS (not ready to offer 40 lacs) and Microsoft (profile does not match requirement) I created my profile in Naukri and started applying for the best fit jobs. But I did not get any calls till now. Probably it takes more time. Can you share your thoughts on the best options available for a career growth for experienced employees?
