I would also recommend interviewing. I've interviewed at most of the big ones. It has been an interesting experience, even though it was never a good fit.

If you should take the extra money depends on your personal situation. Personally, I worked at a company because of the money and work/life balance for 4 years. I somewhat regret it, but if I hadn't have done that it potentially could have cost me millions that I have now, which have put me in a much better place stress wise.
