You're the only one that can make this decision. Put your phone down. Get off the internet. And sit in a room with your feelings for a little bit. You know, those things we always push down and run away from? Let them out to play for once. They'll tell you what you want to know.
The fact you haven't talked about this and you're balls deep in the decision tells me you already know the answer.

Try to remove the pebble from my hand.

You have much to learn.
It's all in your hands, SR. Do you want the career or do you want the SO? You seem excited about the former. I'm sure many will disagree, but I feel jobs are a dime a dozen, but SOs can be tough to find (if you find the right one). Just a thought.
What would that new job give you that you currently don't have? Why can't you get that at your current location? What was the reason you didn't share with SO that you are applying cross country? Are you just looking for validation/proof that you can get the job and no so much that you want it? Answer all these and more.
I broke up with a SO I was living with and thinking of marrying when we had a long 1:1 about goals for next 5 years and they talked for about 20min straight never ever saying "we" in any of their future plans.
Is current SO........the ONE?
Agree with @CD1. My SO accepted a job offer in Boston and wanted me to move with him but his whole family was there and I knew he'd never leave once he went back so I ended it (for other reasons as well but that was the straw that broke the camel's back..). I want someone who will be up for whatever journeys life brings and it sounds like you do too.
Agree with turn off the Internet and meditate on it. Go to the silence to find your truth.
(And for what it's worth, I don't think SR is a healthy place to wrk right now. IMO)
You should always be upfront. Clear communication is the key to relationship. They might not like it, however they can respect your communication. If your partner is for real then they will understand, and you will work something out! Good luck !
Only you know what is right.
What was the reason you applied or even agreed to take the first interview?
Depends on what's most important to you, the relationship, or the career. One is not morally superior than the other, just different priorities. If the relationship is most important, I'd say look them in asap. But if it's your career, well, if it was me, I'd see how things went, and if I got the offer, I'd broach the topic then and see if my SO was willing to try and make it work. Source: I went through hell about this with my long term SO, twice. 😞
