I’ve got a $100k senior consultant who’s stalling out. She's five years in, no manager title. Another firm’s dangling $125k and a Partner pipeline. Tell me straight - should she jump ship or tough it out where they already know her name? I’m tired of watching talent waste time. What's her best move.

Lol that partner timeline in this context is of zero value considering how far she is from that level. Most valuable info here is this is a pay rise and move from a place where she has clearly stagnated. On that basis alone, she should move

Leave. It's likely not the right environment for her at this time, regardless of whose fault.

“Tough it out” where you have “stalled out” makes no sense without a catalyst.

If you’ve or she’s not identified that catalyst at the current firm, fact remains, only the other firm has identified it (for now, money and a supposed pathway/support structure to new roles).

Maybe let the wordings you’ve used guide the decision - agree w above in first instance, let her go.

Outside chance: what drove the promo from consultant to senior? Was it time in grade or was this person a different person before; was something activated then but not now?
