Do you ever feel guilty for jumping a job within 6 months of joining for a $40k+ salary bump? - not that you should by any means but how do you rationalize it? How do you not get attached to your team/colleagues/etc.?

I’m on my 4th job in the last 2 yrs and honestly it all boils down to your priorities at the end of the day. I prioritize $ over team/colleagues. For me that is the driving factor to make the move each time. Ik I would never have come this far in this short of a time had I not jumped each time. Focus on the bigger picture always and don’t get caught up in the moment.

For a 40k bump I would not feel bad at all. No one can fault you for leaving for a better opportunity. I’m sure your coworkers would do the same if they were in the situation.

That's fair. Was thinking about the company too - if they found someone 40k cheaper, they wouldn't keep me around LOL. Just didn't feel too good about leaving in the middle of a project (which would kind of screw them over and maybe unintentionally burn bridges, idk) and ofc, connections within my team (admitting I got emotionally attached and work friends are simply mutually beneficial partnerships). It's all easier said than done from my perspective but it's time to prioritize growth (the role responsibilities and $$)

No. Don't feel guilty. You have to do what is best for you.

Wow that's quite some movement and I agree you have to put yourself first... But how did you find those opportunities so quickly ?

I wasn't actively looking. I had initially planned to stay at my current company until I could make the move to a larger corporation (Microsoft, Google, etc.) but then the new company reached out (they found me on LinkedIn). From there, the on-site interview was a game changer and now here we are. If you're looking for opportunities, would recommend keeping your profile up to date so it can stand out, leverage your network.
