Don't be so sensitive. Transportation is the easiest.

So I got the job offer. It's about 4K more than what I currently make. Not exactly what I was looking for, but I'm not complaining. What's my next step? Do I tell my current employer about the job offer, ask for a raise and then tell them about the job offer, etc...

It got a chuckle out of me.

I don't really specialize in any single area but I figured Transportation would be the easiest to learn. And it was.

lol

Good point.

I do have a good relationship with my boss and this is why I considered telling him in the first place. Also, this was not a job I sought out. I was actively recruited by someone I know who works in HR for this company. I'd like to tell him about it and let him know I'm going to the interview...

I do get overtime pay. There are only a few of us left and it is the one guy ahead of me that drives me absolutely insane by not doing anything but makes about 25K more than me. And this is really not an exaggeration when I say he actually "works" about 3 hours a day.

Thanks for the feedback thus far, guys. I figured I shouldn't say anything until I actually have a job offer. I'm loyal, extremely and to a fault, and I knew that was probably clouding my judgement when it came to how I should handle this. I'm on my 3rd straight 80 hour week right now...

I've got an interview next week with another company. Do I tell my current employer about it? I've been on here before bitching about my salary so my hope is my current employer will finally give me a raise if they know I'm actually looking...or maybe they'll can me for looking haha. I'm open...

I figured the power seat might be pretty standard now. We don't have kids yet, so that's why the 3rd row seat wasn't too big of a deal. I did think it was an awfully tight fit but can see where it might come in handy someday. Yeah, I was definitely happy with the deal. Best part was that my...

Sounds like ours is exactly the same, minus the 3rd row seat. The only notable option we have other than the standard ones and the ones you list above might be power front seats. It was the same thing in Olympia, WA, all of the trucks had a lot of extra options already. The color was extra...

So we picked one up yesterday. Paid $32,000 for a 2011 SR5 with $36,108 sticker price. Wasn't plannning on buying one yesterday but my wife sent them a low ball offer and they accepted. We initially tried the Costco price which came back at $33,500ish. Dealer says they lost $1,500 on the car...

Have you considered a car buying program such as the ones offered by Costco or American Express? They are supposed to take the haggling/negotiating out of the process by contacting dealers for the best price. I look forward to haggling with a car salesman but I'll definitely look into these...

I've been doing research on the same model as well. We're thinking about getting one too so let me know if you end up buying one. My parents bought me a brand new one in 1999 (I gave it back to them when I was in college and bought a commuter) but it still runs awesome and has over 200K miles...

Thanks for the replies. If you need a civil engineer on the cheap then I'm your guy apparently!
