I’m sure this is not a unique situation, but would love y’all’s advice! I love my current agency and the work is easy and ngl it’s a big name and looks impressive on a resume. But, I’m currently being offered a new job at a small agency and the money is so so good, it would be a 60% raise and a title change. I’m so torn, I don’t want to risk what I currently have, but I’m so tempted… would you leave a good place for a ton of $$?

60% increase is indeed a lot, but there are other questions to consider.
Are you currently being paid well? What will the new work and responsibilities be like? How are the new people? Does the new job tick any other boxes for you? (Like better location, work in an industry you’ve been looking to get into, opportunity, etc)

Small agency- wearing a lot of hats, less creative support, little to no process. Be sure to ask the right questions.
