I contribute 20% of my paychecks for the past 6 months to 401k, and will do the max stock option of 10% when I can. Saving isnt the problem for me really. I'm just considering purchasing a house within the next 2 years. The more i examine my income, the more it looks like I should seek better pay. To be able to afford a mortgage. My girlfriend also works. I just don't wonna fall behind where I should be in a few years.

Keep your current job until you find something better. Also, I would cut your401(k) contributions to the max of what your employer matches you ONLY. Anything else should be put into a Roth IRA.
