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 did it in my 20s with no regrets, left friends and family and by myself in a new place. I'd do it again at that point in my life. I wouldn't now. I'm too old and antisocial to want to start all that over.
One key thing, I moved somewhere I intended to stay long term. I've moved around a bit like suburbs, etc., but been in the same general area most of my adult life. So my suggestion would be only consider moving if it's somewhere you can see yourself living in 10 or 20 years or whatever. I turned down a couple blue shitholes before moving here, and at the time not even for politics, they were just places I'd been to I could see myself living in happily.
