I'm 8 months into a job at a small law firm where I genuinely love everyone I work with. My bosses are incredible and my coworkers are the best. But the reality is I'm severely underpaid with no path to partnership. I was offered a position elsewhere with a market salary, bonuses, and a partnership track. I know I need to take it, but I'm so nervous about disappointing these people who've been so good to me. How do I give notice respectfully?

Not NYC but in a market that was recently bumped up to the previous Cravath scale market. Base is obviously set. What should I expect / negotiate for signing bonus, year-end bonus eligibility, special bonus eligibility, etc.? Any other negotiation considerations? I would say leverage is on my side considerably.
