Accepted a job that I am supposed to start next week. Higher level and salary but I am starting to think I didn’t make the right choice and regretting my decision to leave my current company because I love my coworkers and my boss. Anyone have a similar situation? What’s you do and how did it turn out?

I would say first to wait and see how you like the position before making any rash decisions. It seems like you made great memories at your old job, but you can make just as many connections and memories at your new one!

It also sounds like this new job is an exciting new jump from a professional standpoint - a raise and a new title is really great. At the end of the day it sounds like you went out of your comfort zone, and while it may feel uncomfortable to leave what and who you know, you made a great choice for your personal growth. Keep in mind being loyal to a company doesn’t always mean the company would always be 100% loyal to you in return, so it sounds like you made a good choice by doing what is best for you.

Finally, keep in touch with the people you care about. I still talk to a lot of coworkers and old bosses to this day and hang out with them socially. If god forbid you start your new position and hate it, reach out and maybe they will take you back… but don’t give up on this new role before you start! Give it a chance and go from there!
