As many of you know from this thread

I was laid off two weeks ago. My title was Logistics Analyst for a privately-held educational corporation and what I mostly did was procurement and inventory cost accounting.
Well, I didn't want to say anything for fear of jinxing my luck but last week I had and interview for a Financial Analyst position with a publicly-traded on NASDAQ (read: successful company) IT firm. The phone interview was Wednesday, the two hour in-person interview was Thursday, Friday and Monday they spoke to my references, and this Tuesday (two days ago) I received a FedEx overnight envelope with a written, signed offer letter.

This position has a lot more responsibility and a lot more growth potential/promotion prospects--and its exactly the field I want to be in (corporate finance). Responsibilities:
</font>
Commute is ten minutes, base salary is better, plus a 10% bonus paid quarterly, plus full benefits, plus 1750 stock options on signing and more every year, 19 DAYS paid time off per year (in addition to 8 company paid holidays)... a friggin month of vacation per year? I used to get 4 days!
But the best part? I was given a relatively generous severance package (two months' pay) from when I was laid off... and that direct deposits tomorrow... and I start Monday at the new company. So in addition to the layoff being incentive for me to get my career moving, it was a nice chunk of change as a bonus. :D :D :D
Ah, now to enjoy my final two days sitting at home on my *** all day. ;)
