Should be feel bad about possibly leaving my company? I’m about 2 years through a 3 year analyst contract and I’ve been interviewing at a different firm.

I like my current company and the people a lot, but the location isn’t ideal for me and comp is significantly below market. The guilt caused by the thought of leaving is killing me.

Any thoughts/recommendations?

It's your career journey and happiness on the line, not theirs. As selfish as that sounds it's important to do what you want and what's actually best for you. I don't think you need to feel bad, your contribution to the company isn't diminished by your choice to work elsewhere.

Appreciate the insight. Realistically it’s gonna happen a year from now if I decide to wait. I hate it though because I’d stay, regardless of comp, if they’d let me relocate. But thats not on the table.

2/3 is good enough to leave. Why didn’t you have the comp discussion in December?

Base and bonus ranges are baked into my contract so there’s not much room to negotiate and the firm notoriously pays low. They did juice the bonuses this year because of performance, which is nice but still not meaningful

Get over the guilt. Everyone out there only wants the best for themselves. Why should you be any different? After all, that's why we go to work.

It's your life and your career, so do what's best for you. It may seem that you've grown attached to the people around you, but when you do make the decision and leave they'll understand you

I have moderate-conservative views. My team, 6 other people, are all very left-leaning. Politics isn't usually discussed outright, but the liberal views frequently seep into our meetings. It's uncomfortable for me; I can't chime in when they talk about media, covid, news, etc. because I don't agree with their snuck premises. I get along with all of them and I don't think they realize I'm basically a closet conservative. Anyone else feel like a total outsider on their team?
