You guys, I got the job I wanted! This is the one that popped up at a new company after I declined one offer and another offer fell through.

I just got the formal offer, and it is amazing.

Highlights include:
- 40% increase in base from current job (yes, you read that right!)
- Same bonus $$ as current job
- An additional week of vacation
- Same 401k match and vesting schedule
- A VP title
- 2 mile commute
- NO MORE BILLABLE HOURS

PLEASE tell me I don't even need to negotiate. This is high for the industry, so I don't even know what I would negotiate. They already agreed to my slightly further out start date.

AND THANK YOU for all of the support and guidance. I am SO glad I didn't take the first job, and honestly, it was mostly because of you all telling me to aim higher.

It's a great offer and there's no shame in accepting it as-is! CONGRATULATIONS!!

When I saw this title, I gasped. I was hoping it was you! 40%!! *screams*. I'm so happy for you (but sad for us that your job posts are over LOL)--congratulations!! I hope you will treat yourself to something great to celebrate.

Oh, and I would accept as is and feel terrific about it
