(M/31) has opportunity to move closer to daughter while (F/31) girlfriend states she cannot move for the following reasons...

Hi all -
I recently overheard an opportunity with my company about an opening for my same role which is pretty close to my daughter. My daughter is 3 years old and lives 6 hours away from me currently. My daughter is the result of a former relationship (not married). She is such a blessing.
For the past 3 years, I have it arranged where my daughter comes to visit me and my parents (her grandparents) once a month for a long weekend. I also Skype with her a couple times a week which we both love. The current system is great and she loves it. My ex and I dont mind meeting halfway either....its a little bit of a drive but not bad considering what we are doing it for.
So now I overheard this opportunity with my company and I want to look into it. My current GF of 2 years is saying she can not move because of her specific job and she wants to be close to her family which lives like 20 minutes down the road from us. We had a very heartfelt conversation with lots of tears over the weekend and she just continues to say she cant sacrifice everything to move with me closer to my daughter. I told her we are very capable 31 year old adults and my daughter is 3 and does not have a choice in moving, we would. We can love each other anywhere.
Her argument is that my daughter is not her daughter so it’s tougher for her to sacrifice more. Also, she does well in her job but with my daughter, we would essentially be moving to a very specific part of the county to be closer to her, not further away so she would have less future opportunities. My GF also doesn’t like how my Ex is basically dictating our lives by where would would live in always having to follow her to be closer to my daughter.
I very candidly told her that she cannot bank on her family staying in the area just because she wants them to. Like what if her parents retire to Florida....is she going to follow them? Also what if her company lets her go? Like, life has so many unique twists and turns. But I will continue to love her and we can have a family of our own out closer to my daughter to help optimize my location to her.
The problem I am having is that in my heart I am doing the right thing by at least investigating this opportunity. I might not even move if it doesn’t make sense but at least I’m looking into it for my little girl. In her mind, I am choosing my daughter over her and she wants to be someone’s #1 priority. Her philosophy is that if the BF/GF or Husband/Wife dont put each other first, the kids will suffer...so your partner should be #1. She’s been pretty argumentative about the whole process and I feel like I am going to end up the bad guy no matter what. I’ll feel the guilt if I stop the process in it’s tracks and just stay put OR I’ll be the bad guy because I left her high and dry (even though I’ve been asking her to come).
Please ask any questions you may have but would love to hear some different perspectives.
TL;DR Boyfriend has opportunity to move closer to daughter, potentially, but girlfriend does not want to move.
Thank you!
