After over 10 years at my company, I've made the decision to accept a new job and will be leaving later this month. While I know it's the right choice for my career and personal growth, I'm feeling a surprising amount of guilt about it. This company has been a significant part of my life; I started my career here, built strong friendships, faced challenges, and celebrated many successes. Walking away feels strange and emotional. I haven't been made to feel guilty by anyone, and in fact, most of my colleagues have been supportive. Yet, I can't shake the feeling that I'm letting people down or abandoning a place that invested so much in me. I'm curious if anyone else has gone through a similar experience after leaving a long-term job. How did you cope with the emotions, guilt, and uncertainty of making such a big change? Did those feelings fade over time, or was there something specific that helped you move on? I would really appreciate hearing how others navigated this transition.
