Am I dumb/naive for feeling guilty about possibly leaving? 😅

I may get a remote role & almost 2x my TC just as my firm is rolling out an RTO plan.

I already felt kinda bad for interviewing b/c the people are great, but now they’re all dreading the day they have to go back in and I may not even be there.

Is this premature survivors guilt or something? 😂

(P.S. No way in hell I’d turn down the offer if I get it)

Not dumb. Our jobs are a big part of our identities and change is hard. Of course you’ll worry about your colleagues and the company you worked hard for - but the reality is you’ll be replaced. Totally normal to feel that guilt though. Hope you get the new gig - sounds like a great opportunity!

Hey everyone, I got a call from Deloitte recruiting on Wednesday of last week discussing salary requirements and location. They told me that the team really liked me and that they were going to work on an offer. I got a call on Friday saying one group has approved the offer but they are waiting on others. I haven’t heard much since then. Should I be worried? How much longer will I have to wait?
