Switching jobs will give you the fastest bump depending on how well you negotiate. I've switched firms 3 times and each time for >30%. There's drawback if you keep doing this as each time you will lose your network and re-establish yourself and your network which isn't a quick and easy to do.

Get promoted at D and make a jump to a different firm to get you into the six figures.

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
