My boss is moving to a new firm and taking our team. While I took the offer and am in the process of moving with him, I’m also interviewing with other places. First, I was told I should start looking. Also, I’m looking because of career development purpose. But…If somehow I get an offer and decide to leave right after I move with my team to the new firm, is it bad? I don’t want to ruin my relation with them.

You’re workplace proximity associates, not family. Just be respectful about it and do what you need to do. You’ll only ruin the relationship if you’re rude or don’t thank them for what you learned from them, etc.

If you were told to start looking, there is no reason for there to be any animosity as long as you are respectful about it.

my boss didn’t say that. My coworker and my mentor (not within the firm) said so

I think that you have to do what’s best for your career and I think everyone who cares about you would agree - including other attorneys in your current group. There’s no guarantee you get an offer somewhere better so you have to go with them. Deal with the next issue when it arises and then just be honest about it. You’ll keep your friends/network there and everybody gets it

Oh, I see. Even still, I don’t think it it bad, you could say that the new firm was not aligned with your goals.
