My company has been in shambles for a while and did layoffs and reorg again. I’m always concerned about job security, so I’ve been interviewing elsewhere. I do love my job and my team but salary is too low, it undermines my value. I’m in the interview process for an analyst position with a strong company, better pay and benefits. The job is acceptable work but not what I’m doing now. I’m worried I will leave the job I love just to chase better pay, etc. and feel guilty leaving my team. Thoughts?

Please, please please take the new job if offered. You have no reason to feel guilty about leaving. Your coworkers would do the same thing if they could, and I'm sure you wouldn't begrudge them for it. Don't think twice about this. If you can get an offer with significantly better pay and benefits, you take it every single time.

Simply make sure that the new job’s extra pay is not “combat pay” for an untenable situation. You clearly value the work you do, and there is nothing wrong with that. Be glad that you are good enough to get an offer in this environment.

Depending on the size of the company, it can go through many different layoffs and reorganizations.
I was with a company for 23 months and 1 day, the company went through 3-4 layoffs / job eliminations and a little over a year of being under a wage / hiring freeze before they ended up closing the business and declaring bankruptcy. When a company declares bankruptcy, the employees become creditors which means some or none of the employees could get paid which could take months, years, or never.
If your company is in that shape, I would not really worry be guilty as it is nice to have a company that we like although we still need to watch out for ourselves.

I’ve done some soul searching of late and established I’d love to be offered a FTE role in my current company. I think this is partly due to never having had a full time job which I’ve enjoyed and which have valued my contributions. I think this is due to wanting to feel accepted. I know acceptance needs to start with me etc but I think redundancy and workplace gaslighting has meant I’ve never achieved growth and status in one company where I can truly grow. Anyone else has this?
