Any tips/reflection from vet consultants who have exited into product management at big tech? (alternatively product ops, product strategy, or other product adjacent roles)? Would love to pick your brains!

Context: current M, non technical undergrad, but have gotten good exposure to product related cases over the last few years (in addition to previous product-adjacent roles in startups)

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving.

Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
