Youve even mustered up the courage to tell your current employer.
And just at that moment when you should be on cloud nine, the guilt comes rolling in.

You begin to question the decision.
But, assuming youmanage your departure gracefully, you absolutely shouldnt feel guilty, and heres why.
Professionals Are Expected to Develop and Grow
Your colleagues are not unlike you.
This is human nature, and its expected.
If the Tables Were Turned, the Company Probably Wouldnt Feel Guilty
Think about it.
Were all human, after all.
(Theyll dieeee without me.)
And in at least two of these instances, guess what happened?
Have you met at least a couple of colleagues or clients that you really like being around?
Well then stop the moping and make the most out of your final days at the old job.
Lift that load off of your shoulders and enjoy the hours you have remaining with these comrades.
It might not be easy to carve out time to see them once you start that new gig.
Even when youre downright ecstatic about your pending transition, quitting a job can be emotionally tough.
Feel the emotions, absolutely.
Just dont let guilt sneak in and steal the moment.
Youve got basking to do.
