... it sounds as if there is little upside to your current situation aside from being comfortable. A condition that can change suddenly.
Look long term. The short-term shock and hassle of changing is what holds most people back.
Look before you leap! Does the current company have a history of layoffs? Are they providing you with relocation assistance? Vertical or Lateral move? "Set for life?", Have you even visited this new city? Etc,...
Good Luck? |

Some good advice pattersb. Just to throw my two cents in, many of the career books that I have read say that you should change jobs at the peak, as you're dealing from a position of strength, not when you desparately hate your job. Also, you sound pretty luke warm about where you're at right now. I know that a baby is a hassle (trust my, we had our second child as my husband was doing a career switch) but if this job is something you'd like to be doing long term, then some short term pain is worth the hassle.
Good luck.
