Should I take this job to chase FIRE?

I’m largely on track with my FIRE goals, however, I’ve just had a job offer which is making me think over my strategy a little and would love your thoughts!

Current role:
- £74k salary, no bonus
- 1 day in office a week
- 1 hr commute each way

New role:
- £100k salary, 20-50% bonus
- 5 days in office
- 45 min commute each way
- PHI

I’m a little worried of taking a new job in this market and jumping into the unknown from my current stable position. However, this role is a pretty big jump in salary which could speed up my FIRE journey significantly.

Keen to get your guys thoughts, would you make the move? More money, but less flexibility and more uncertainty?

Additional context: 28M, married no kids
