Which job option?

Thanks in advance to anyone that reads this and offers advice.

My situation: I've been with the same company for almost 11 years, through 2 acquisitions (where my company was acquired) and multiple roles. I'm currently a Project Manager working 100% remote and making $108,000. My colleagues, including my boss, all live in another state so my only interaction with them is through email/video calls. My husband is also 100% remote, and we have two young kids, both in daycare full-time. In early April, I was shocked to learn my boss put me on a PIP. During our discussion, she brought up valid concerns, but this was the first time she had mentioned any of the issues with me. She clearly laid out her expectations (which I wish she would have done before initiating the PIP...) and since then I've received excellent feedback from her. We had a 30-day assessment where she told me I was doing great and to keep it up. We have the final, 60-day assessment the first week of June and she has expressed nothing but positive feedback. While I understand anything could happen, I expect to be removed from the PIP and retain my job.

Because I was understandably worried when informed about the PIP, I began applying to other positions. I've had two rounds of interviews so far with a large, global company that has a local office. It is a fortune 250 company with a great reputation and long-term stability. Tomorrow will be the third and final interview over lunch to "meet the rest of the team." This role will be 100% in-office, about a 20-minute commute from my house. It will also likely be $130,00+ in salary, based on the initial conversation I had with HR.

Perhaps I'm putting the cart before the horse in this scenario, but I'm really torn on which option would be better, assuming I have the option of choosing from both. My husband seems to be 100% "team new job" because of the pay increase, as well as my "soiled" reputation at current job (my words, not his). I totally understand his reasoning and agree, however, with 2 young kids I wonder if it would be foolish to walk away from a remote job that has incredible flexibility.

Thoughts? Things I haven't considered?
