It's because only the first company will give you a batch of friends in training which is like your college or school days.

Lunch with the batch - even though in different projects, few will maintain that training batch relationship.

It could be the feel similar to leaving the college. But slowly you will overcome it.

Yesterday when the PMO called and asked me are you sure that you want to leave TCS? and I replied.. who wants to leave their forst company? I am always ready to take back the resignation but I have some salary and tech stack expectations that made me take this difficult decision. And he was like: Okay I have received some documents this morning, let me see what I can do.

Fingers crossed. They dont know that my current CTC is 5.64, offer in hand 9 lpa, I am targeting 11 lpa now.. and he will come.up with 20%hike to lure me 😂🤬

Basically I am in support project doing administration work and its pretty easy to train a fresher to do the job so they won't be much interested to retain me( what I feel) and even I am not interested unless they give me 60-80% hike that the current offer is giving me.

Yes its common to feel sad after resigning from your first company. It's mostly nostalgia and the memory of your team mates.
You will feel sad for a couple of months after joining the new company. Since you are joining online, it will take you time to adjust. You may end up thinking you made a wrong decision, but remember growth is painful and it's out of your comfort zone.

First company is always special because you will carry every kind of experience, be that good or bad and that will always help you in your future. It's normal to be sad at this point.
