I have a colleague that’s done this and it really paid off for them. They’re currently at the VP level.
I feel like it would be beneficial to work with a different team. More experience in a different area seems like it would always be beneficial.

Lateral moves are underrated — but only if the new team has more visibility or a clearer path to the title/comp bump you actually want. "Starting over" socially is temporary; starting over politically can cost you 12–18 months.
The real question is: does this move put you closer to a promotion, a stronger manager, or skills that justify a bigger external ask later?
What's driving the opportunity — did you seek it out or were you tapped?
Another fake post. OP, how about some background. What type of company? An ad agency? If so are you interested in the accounts you’ll be managing? What motivates you? The quality of work or just the money? Tell us about your situation, this seems a bit too generic to be a real question.
