I accepted a new position that has a title bump and salary increase but am feeling weirdly sad about leaving KPMG. I loved the people I worked with and the firm, but unfortunately just can’t ever seem to get to that next level (despite being rated as performing at the next level two years in a row). Hoping I can find the same connections at my new firm.

You’re going to get over those feelings real fast, don’t worry. You made the right call

You are probably feeling sad about all sunk costs - time, effort, energy invested into doing good and forming relationships, and still getting nowhere with it. Completely understandable.
I, for one, am sad that people like you are leaving and ay-holes are staying.

Good luck with your new job!

You didn’t start with the connections you have now, you’ll do well at the next place too. Plus people leave all the time-your network here won’t stay the same. Congrats on the offer!!
