Thanks everyone for the gracious comments! I'm excited about the move, even though it looks like I won't be starting at the new place until I return for California about a month from now. Very frustrated about that.

Ib, I did think of the auto insurance discount. I think it may only be available if my commute is less than 5 miles (it'll still be around 25) but I will definitely check.

you prob already thought of this, but see if your car insurance can go down with the shorter commute. CONGRATS!

Congratulations! 2 pay grades. That's pretty rare these days. Usually, you have to leave and join another company to get any siginifcant increase in pay. And I'm glad that the environment will be better in the new office building. In my book, that's priceless.

You're the man!!! Good going!!!

8% is pretty good for staying within a company -- and you're probably at the low end of the pay scale at your new level -- plenty of room to grow!

CONGRATS! I didn't read your linked post, but 8% when you were only expecting 2.7% is awesome!

Congratulations! Obviously, you are not exactly where you want to be, but moving in the right direction is always a plus. I had some mixed feelings when I switched jobs back in September. Sure, I got a great raise, better benefits, and a better work environment.... but, I still felt that something was missing. I want to run my own business, and I think that I will (as I already do have a business, but I am no where near replacing my current income with it). I need to get school completed first, however, so I can spend more time transitioning. Just keep your goals and try to make every step go in that direction.
