I found a job that pays 40% more than my new job, how should I proceed?

I started last month. I basically manage investigations for warehouse inventory that’s off count from what the system says. It’s a smaller warehouse (30-40 people), it’s a great environment and I enjoy working there. They even gave me a little more than I asked for, which is extremely rare for me. However, I’m interviewing on Thursday for an identical job that pays 42% more than what I currently make here. I know I’ll tell my boss I found a higher paying job and will have to leave if they can’t match it, but I feel pretty shitty about it. I know they paid me based on what I asked for, but I’ve been looking for jobs forever and I was confident that was the most I could possibly get in my field. This other job came out of nowhere, so now I kind of feel like a dick for what…
