Yikes, sounds a little risky to me especially because it's a competitor. Have you signed any non-competes or NDAs? I've never heard of anyone doing something like this before so maybe I'm just paranoid but I'd be careful. At most, I would probably do the overlap for 2 weeks, not 4-6

Yes I agree. Be a man and make a decision. If you want the job then take it and put 100% into it.

Sounds like you don't really hate your current job but feel like your entitled to a bigger paycheck. Maybe I'm missing something.

Oof that sounds really sticky and I would definitely think you would need to make a decision about which to take. If you continue doing both and one finds out, you might end up losing both and not having a job at all. I would decide whether or not you want to stay in your current role or take the new role.
