Ask HN: What should I do if I feel depressed in my job?

I work at one of the world's largest software companies. I feel like I am a code monkey with no future of promotion or compensation. Just churning code in and out. I have a family and the job pays the bills. Wife doesn't quite work yet. I can't quite quit or switch companies, as I am on an L1 visa.

I feel I am spinning wheels and feel low most days.
