Due to immigration stuff, I have to move to a different country. Current partner helped me get a job confirmation within PwC through his connections. But I still kept looking and found a better job at another company which aligns a lot closer to my career goals while giving me a better title. Issue is that it seems like that it might irk my current partner and I don’t want to burn any bridges with him. How should I go about having that conversation? PwC

You are going to burn the bridge, a little bit. How much depends on the partner’s temperament. But you asked this person to call in favors and do a bunch of work for you, and now you’re deciding to say thanks but no thanks.

Life happens. We’re all professionals, we get it. This partner’s reaction could range anywhere from “I get why you’re making that decision” to “I’m very disappointed that you didn’t explore that option before asking me to pull strings for you”. You’ve probably burned the goodwill you have with this partner, and you can’t ask them for any more favors for a while — maybe ever.

No one is going to begrudge you for doing what’s best for you, but understand you don’t get to do that and also not burn the bridge. You don’t get to have your cake and eat it too here.

Sorry to hear about your visa issues and best of luck to you in your future career.
