Off topic, but I got offered a promotion. Said promotion requires me to move a couple states away; a few days drive. It will help my career down the long run but requires me to say good bye to friends and family and is last second. Has anyone moved cross country for a job before, and if so, was it worth it in the long run?

I would, personally.
If those friends are true friends, they’ll likely still be there/will make an effort to stay in touch. And you can always come back and visit, as others have pointed out!
In the end, I probably wouldn’t make the decision based on the promotion itself, but more on whether you are truly happy where you are, and we get her you think… It will be “worth it” to move, which it sounds like you do.
Personally, I think you’ll probably regret it more if you don’t take this chance, but clearly others disagree.
But yeah, if I was in your shoes, I would absolutely make the move.
