What’s a good response for leaving a job for better pay?

Need help with this interview question

Hi y’all, thanks in advance. I’m having trouble thinking of a response to this possible question.

Background: I graduated college in December and spent a few months applying for jobs. About a month and a half ago I was hired as an account manager at my current company. The job is okay — around $49k a year. Relaxed environment and Fridays are WFH.

Now, the problem is one of the jobs I applied to emailed me back for an interview this week. New role starts at 68k and is fully remote.

How would I navigate any upcoming questions about why I would be leaving my current company after such a short time?

Thanks in advance y’all.
