The Dilemma...
...apply for a job on a different program that may lead to my dream job but will probably require really long hours for a while with me not knowing at all what I'm doing, or stay at my current job which is now super busy but I know what I'm doing and am finally feeling like I'm contributing and am happier than I've ever been on this program??? If I apply for and get this new job, I will be leaving my current group short staffed and with very little knowledge on what I've been working on lately (I think the new lead would have a short learning curve, but he would have to do all the work himself). OR...I could wait a year, see my current project through, and hope that the other program will still be hiring and have things better defined. I'm so not good at making decisions...

If the new job will give you more $$$ (at least 20%), or if it is a promotion, take the new job. Take the new job if your current job is really suck or you are not learning or you are not valued. DOn't just take a new job just because for absolutely no reason or would benefit you later on.
Also, new jobs gives you the push or the threshold to learn new things and expand your networking. But also, be conderate when you leave your old job. It means don't burn your bridge. If you need to burn a bridge, blow up the bridge that youare making a point not to mess with you.
Hope that helps. Again, you should leave at your own terms.

Did you apply for the orion?
No...not yet...
Money is not just the main reason why you need to leave your current job. You need to be valued from your current job or your new job. Also, your boss and your other co-workers need to respect you for what/who you are.
