The offer will be for a managerial position; I will have a team of people under me. Currently I'm just a sole contributor in a team. Work culture and environment wise both (current and offer) are somewhat equal, with good work-life balance.
Hope to hear more thoughts from experienced people here.
Thank you.

How do you know if you will stay long enough in this 'better role'? With great power comes great responsibility. I know managing people is a different level altogether and it seems very intellectually challenging to do that but you have to see if you like to lead or u don't.
Hope you don't mind, reason for me trying to 'dissuade' you now is because I know life may change drastically for you when you have kids. You will want to spend more time with your children. I will stay at where I am comfortable in, so in the event when I need to take leave I know I can take without bringing any worries home.
I am writing with experience, made a similar plunge several years back and it is not worth it. I know you are young and energetic and you want to give your best in your golden years but trust me, it's not the time yet.
