I am also given the week after Xmas off. if my toddlers are sick I can work at home with them. Interviewing w fortune 500 that offers 15 pto days that have to use for sick days too.Strictly in office job 9-5 and dress bus.prof. These bad benefits? Outdated culture?I am a seasoned professional. Seems tough.

$20K and a shorter commute is significant. I’d say if the new role feels like a better fit overall, take it. Loyalty is great, but so is taking care of your future.
I understand your feelings, but this seems like it will impact your life significantly. Take the new job. You don't have to have any loyalty to a company that would most likely have no problem laying you off as soon as they needed to.
Agree with the first two respondents. I was loyal to my company for many years, bent over backwards to the detriment of my own health, and then they kicked me and a few other hard working people to the curb when it suited them. Taught me a lesson. Loyalty does not pay. Even if after 3 months at the other job, take it. And if you want to leave on good terms, lie and say you have a health issue or a family member in another state needs assistance (and that it doesn't fit within FMLA), or that you need to move or whatever. And then don't update your LinkedIn info with the new job for a few months. And if later you get called out on it, say that circumstances in your family changed or something after you left, so it got resolved, and then you felt bad about leaving them in the lurch and so you didn't reach out to get your last role back/figured they had already filled it, and so you found another job, bla bla bla. But I doubt you would need to get that elaborate, that they would even care. Take the other job, please!
TAKE IT!!! I was in the exact same situation years ago and felt so guilty leaving after only 2 months, but looking back, it was the best decision I could have made, not just for pay but also for my career.
I’d say you can do this once, but don’t make a habit of it. You definitely don’t wanna look unstable on your resume, but if you do it once it’s not the end of the world. And for you, it’s easy to explain because it’s closer to home too.
Also… whether $20k is worth it or not is all relative. It all depends. For example, if you’re making like $300k then maybe $20k more really isn’t a big deal. But if you’re making like $70k-90k, that extra $20k could make a significant difference for you.
