I am about to leave an amazing team and work culture for more money. I feel like a dirt bag. My boss has treated me really well and my team is AMAZING…60% pay raise though was enough to buy me. I feel guilty.

The new job is also an incredible growth opportunity and not something I have access to at my current company. So it’s not all about the money.

If your leadership team is as good as they say they are, they are happy for you. Keep in touch with those folks.

Why would you feel bad about taking an opportunity to substantially increase pay and make yourself better off? It's always tough to leave great colleagues but the second you didn't provide enough value for a company they won't think twice about dumping you, no matter how great an employee you were and how much work you put in.

I’m sure any member of your team would have made the same decision, and if you all are that close they will be happy for you. You’re doing the right thing for yourself, nothing to feel guilty about there.

If a peer on your current team did the same thing in the same situation with the same opportunity, would you begrudge him/her? (And if someone on my team left the way you are, I’d toast them at their going away happy hour and stay on good terms)

True. This is a good point.

How did you negotiate 60% pay raise? Does that include equity?

I’m going to an MBB firm as a consultant. So the pay raise is not really apples to apples comparable with my old job and compensation.

Money isn’t everything but you’d be stupid to not take that.

Good people understand- enjoy the monetary freedom cuzzo.

He treats me so well and we get along great. Yes we disagree about topics but have respectful conversations and have both become more open minded. He doesn’t think it’s an issue. I feel like the media and the judgement of dating someone on the right is getting to me & making me have negative sabotaging thoughts. Any advice?
