I found out today that I'm making sharply less money than

If you 3 to 5 years of experience then you leave until then stay. Once you stockpile experience you shift to another position quite quickly with a significant pay increase.

Make your boss aware of the offer you received and see if you can negotiate for better pay. It's possible that the firm you're with just can't afford to pay you so much, but you should stand up for yourself and show how valuable you are. My guess is, if your boss likes you, he'll be receptive to negotiating for better pay. $20K is a lot so I doubt he'll match, but I'd say it might be worth working for $10K less a year if you like where you work.
So yeah, I'd say try to negotiate for higher pay, and then decide how much money you're willing to sacrifice to work somewhere you enjoy.

I should also make it clear, though, that I'm not talking from experience. I'm going off logic and second hand advice.

I have 6 years of experience in the industry, a little under two years at this company.

It's not an official offer, but taking the time to interview and such would be a pain in my ass just for leverage... the other job doesn't seem as cool either, so were it not for the money, I'd be bailing on it.

Another note is that I signed on to this role three months ago, so I think my boss would laugh me out of the room for trying to negotiate that soon.

Thanks for letting me know that's second hand. I still appreciate it.
