    Offer received informally by 7.10am this morning whilst on the phone to the recruiter! Formal offer letter received by 2pm. Acceptance sent and resignation submitted by 2.30pm - the latter part of this was the hardest I have ever done as I like (most of) the people and my boss and in many ways it is a lovely site / company. My boss's reaction was an interesting one - he immediately started writing detailed notes about what I call the hygiene factors; better pension, flexible working, better holidays for new starters etc. 

    Offer from the new role is £52K p.a. with a £5K car allowance (he's done this to make up my wage). It's not a life changing salary but it is enough and I am happy with it :)

    Good for you. Shorter commute is so very, very important in terms of quality of life

    Well done.  Its hard giving notice to any job, especially when you like them, but it sounds like this new one will be a much better fit.  We're all so pleased for you :smiley:
