DG: congratulations, old bean, it didn't take you long to show them what you're made of! I'd take the promotion for the very simple reason it showed you were promotable where others weren't, and in double-quick time, too. If you tell yourself you'll give it a probationary period of 3 - 6 months, then you won't feel as if a door has clanged shut behind you. (During which period, of course, you can continue to cast your net if you don't feel good vibes.)

When I got my promotion to a supervisory job with accountability for a fair-sized budget and 35 permanent staff and 100 trainees, I went from being an executive secretary to an entirely different type of job. Where I'd always been instructed or guided by a boss, suddenly I WAS the boss! I think I felt very odd for the first week, as if cast adrift on a raft. However, I gradually got used to the sense of being 'one of them' instead of 'one of us' and I think I did a fairly good job of it, since two more promotions followed.

The nice thing is that you have that on your CV for life, no matter what you may do later.
