I recently accepted a job offer at a major company in my dream city, which is a huge step for my career and allows me to close the distance with my long-term boyfriend after years apart. The role is a lateral move, but it aligns better with my career goals and will enhance my resume significantly. I should be thrilled, but instead, I feel an overwhelming sadness about leaving my current job and city. My current position is incredible; it's unique to my company and feels more like a hobby than work. I've built strong friendships with my colleagues, and I've recently taken on more responsibilities, which has been fulfilling. In the two years I've been here, I've developed a wonderful community and grown to appreciate the quirks of my current city. Despite knowing that the new job is the right choice for both personal and professional reasons, I find myself grieving the loss of what I have now. It's hard to muster excitement for the future when I'm still processing the sadness of leaving behind something so special.
