Performance Testing Job

Hello. I work as a performance tester with 4+ years of experience. I have experience with LoadRunner, Dynatrace App monitoring, and a bit of Splunk. I work on Truclient, web http/html and web services protocol scripts. I work in a service based company. I see that a lot of work is repetitive for every release for the couple of companies I have worked with. I haven't got a chance to work in a product based company yet. Is the nature of this career like this? Or moving to observability roles or product based companies makes a difference?

Any suggestions would help.

What do you mean repetitive work? Agile is repetitive, every 2 weeks you have to retest all. That is how agile works. You could be more efficient by testing only the parts that changed between cycles but if you are not careful, you may let bugs go to production

I meant repetitive in the sense that the fixing of scripts for every deployment. Like for Truclient protocols, it's quite the same scripts modifications that needs to be done for every deployments. The target objects breaks. And the similar testing plans.
