My job is decidedly average. It's certainly not horrible. Nor is it wonderful. But, objectively, it is probably more bad than it is good. The job itself is pretty easy. It can be frustrating sometimes, but I wouldn't say it's ever been difficult. I'm way overqualified for the work and often find myself bored and mentally disconnected. In addition to this, I get no health benefits, no 401k or other retirement savings benefits, and get paid $35,360 per year in a MHCOL area. This is with a college degree and a fairly prestigious certification within the industry.
I am midway through the interview process at a place I am really excited about. $51,000 starting base salary with opportunity for more... In an area where the cost of living is 30% less than where I am currently. They offer a 401k plan with 3.5% match. Health benefits. An unlimited vacation policy. And they're flying me out to look around before I commit... In a word, this company is legit. And it would be my first "big boy" job. It is clearly superior to where I am now.
But I found myself talking to my boss today and I felt a little bad knowing I would probably (hopefully) soon be leaving. I like him and I like my coworkers. And as I said above, I don't even really hate the job, itself. But there's also no way I could let this opportunity go. The company I'm at currently only has six people currently on payroll, including me and my boss. There's no one to replace me. And while I would hesitate to call myself indispensable, a lot of what I do are things no one else wants to do or has time to do. I do a majority of the administrative stuff so my coworkers can focus on clients, and leaving would really be a thorn in one coworker's side in particular.
Why am I feeling bad for leaving a job that is, at best, average, when I'm going to a job that is miles ahead of where I am now? I didn't do anything wrong. Yet I still somehow feel like I'm royally screwing my boss and my coworkers when they didn't do anything wrong either. Yeah, total compensation could be much higher. But I took the job, so that's on me. Has anyone else felt this way? While I'm excited to be moving forward in my career, I can't shake the feeling of anxiety about having to walk into my boss' office and tell him I'm quitting when all he's ever been is nice to me.
tl;dr: I feel weirdly guilty and anxious about quitting a job that is perfectly okay even though I'm moving on to a job that is objectively better in pretty much every way.
