heres the situation, a recruiter reached out to me about a job that i think i have a decent shot at landing.

in terms of the role & its responsibilities, it would be pretty much exactly what im doing now, just in a different industry and with a somewhat different goal/focus.

the big difference here is that it's like a 30% pay bump from what im making now. it's also nearly double my commute (30 miles each way) but it's pretty much traffic free and id be open to moving up towards that area anyway.

my apprehension here is that i dont want to jump ship from my current job (only been here a year and a half) just for a pay increase, esp since it wont come with a nicer title or greatly expanded scope of responsibilities. im not super satisfied about my current company but i am not burned out yet either and i am kind of sick of job hopping.

obv i have to interview & all that to see if its the right fit but what are your thoughts on this at a high level?
