Had my exit interview today with my manager

“the friend in me wants you to go and absolutely love it, but the manager in me wants you to go and hate it for 6 months and then message us and ask to come back. I understand if you feel like this is the right change for you and I genuinely hope you love it and feel more passionate about it, but seriously, you always have a spot here at (company), or on my team wherever I go”


How genuine is this? Should I believe it or take it with a grain of salt?

I would believe it, that sounds sincere.

You have open doors OP... good job not burning the bridge.

This is definitely not the "you're dead to me" spiel I got. 🤣🤣🤣

That’s the professional equivalent of a very tough breakup for your manager. He’s definitely going to have the entire pint of ice cream tonight after you’re gone. 😢

That sounds pretty real. Well done to both you and the manager

Sounds absolutely sincere. That’s something I would say to someone who I really valued on my team knowing they were kick-a$$ at why they do and ready for that next level that they wouldn’t get without leaving. You’ll be hard for them to replace not for your skills, but for who you are to the team.

Now I’m all teary here 🥹

I would only ever say that if I meant it. Well done in leaving on good terms. Many people think burning down the house is the way to go.

Seems genuine no need for them to extend that offer if not real.

Sounds like you’ve got a good manager. Someone to keep good relationships with going forward.

In my experience, they have no personal benefit blowing smoke like that when you leave, so I would believe it to be sincere. I’m sure if they really didn’t feel that way, they wouldn’t waste their time saying it. This is why keeping bridges in tact is so important. You clearly made a positive impact there, great job!

Feels genuine!

I would never say this to a person that I did not want to work with again. I would say “good luck in your new role” and lane it at that. So I think it’s safe to say they are sincere.

I had a similar response from Deloitte partner when leaving the firm for a tech firm. I took it positively, still have great relationship with that partner, and know that I can always call back in times of need.
