There's a short book I like called The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday that talks about dealing with adversity like this.
The secret is to take full responsibility for your situation. Nobody will be more invested in your success than you are.
Ask yourself - why do you feel stagnant, and what can you do about it?
For example, talking to your manager about it, making a plan and working toward a promotion as an IC, taking over a struggling project and leading it to success, or transitioning into leading a team.
If it's changing jobs, take responsibility for understanding your goals and finding a role that fits.
