Getting better offer two months into new role. Thoughts?
Title. I interviewed for this role before I started in my current seat. Didn't hear back until two months later where the recruiter called me out of nowhere and told me they're looking to move quickly and will make an offer after this final upcoming interview. Clearly their first choice fell through but it's still a better role and bank than my current seat. I'd be moving from BB to BB to another city.
The issue is that my current team is great. I like them but the role and overall organization itself is simply ok and it's not what I want to be doing long term, plus I'm just not happy in my current city. I think if I got this offer, I'd take it. Another concern is that my VP used to work in the office that I would be going to and knows the people there. I don't know how I could do this without burning bridges and embarrassing my team, possibly sabotaging the new relationship. Any advice would be appreciated.

Always …. Always look after yourself first especially in this industry.
I’d make the move personally
