I'm essence, yeah. I had nothing but nice things to say about the current company I was working for. Liked my job, like the company, boss, etc. Whenthe interviewers asked why I was leaving I told them that it was a small, family owned business (not my family). I loved working there but I'm only making about half the market value for my degree. The current boss told me from the start that he wouldn't be able to pay what I'm worth, but asked that I learn what I could there, then let them know when I'm going to move on. I relayed all that to my interviewers and they loved it. Later they cited that answer as one of the reasons they hired me.
