You haven't told us your level of equity/options and vesting with your current opportunity. These determine where you are on the spectrum between being owned and rented. Most companies err substantially on the side of rent. Assuming there isn't a huge pile of money you'd be leaving behind by getting poached, and there is a huge pile of money on the other side, the decision should be pretty clear. Since you mentioned your comp is a point of frustration, well, duh, pursue it. Corporations for some reason optimize for the employees who get zero equity, and yet never jump ship when their pay rates fail to appreciate at a commensurate rate with their experience and how essential they are to ongoing operations. If that kind of employee is you, keep stagnating. I get a feeling it's not.
