Currently at a boutique office with really great mentorship. Potential lateral opportunity came up to a big firm. Way higher pay, nice office in a great spot, all the fun stuff that comes with a bigger firm. BUT it’s in the same practice area and directly competitive with my current firm. I’m early on in my career - how much should I value the loyalty to my current job?

I know most cynic lawyer’s knee jerk reaction is “don’t value loyalty to anyone.” But also im in a mid-size city where reputation matters. And like I said, i have a great mentor/partner here. Any thoughts?
