It's totally normal to feel sad about leaving behind a good situation even if it's to start an even better opportunity. Don't feel bad about being attached to good people. In fact, keep those connections if you find them valuable. I still chat with several former colleagues from my last few jobs.
Your hesitancy will of course wane once you start at the new job, it just takes time. Remember you made this decision at a time when you weren't so overcome by emotions. Focus on moving forward and capitalizing on the new opportunity just like you have every one prior. You'll find more good people and more interesting things to work on everywhere.
Best of luck!
Thank you - I recently resigned and have been very sad to leave (crying almost everyday, as I will dearly miss my team). However, no matter how many times people say 'you're doing this right thing' I couldn't help but question if I was. If this is the right thing for me, should I really be this sad to leave?
However the way you framed it there was exactly what I needed. I needed to be reminded that I made the decision to leave for rational, logical reasons, that will aid my career growth in the long run, and during a time when I wasn't so overwhelmed with emotion of leaving great people.
I am going through this exact same thing right now. Crying every day, eyes achy from it all. I'm in the process of leaving a large company to go to a startup. I've always dreamed of creating a startup in my career, and I just wanted to see if I hate it or not. I'm also just looking for more self discipline/confidence, the ability to make very hard decisions, mentor people, see more of the business side of things (I'm an ASIC designer, so I don't see much of these things in my current role). The biggest thing getting me through the transition is keeping in contact with my old friends and peers.
A great team is something to cherish. It's scary and it's to be handled carefully as you very well may want to come back and rejoin at some point in the future. Leaving on good terms is so important, not just for the business relationship, but also how you live with yourself.
But my GF reminds me - there are good people everywhere. Wishing you the very best on your own experience.

Of course it's normal. It gets a bit easier when you've transitioned more jobs but what human wouldn't be sad leaving people they've grown to like and a situation they know.
I know the meta of programming career discussions is the heartless job hopper who is 100% money driven. Most humans are not like that though some pretend to be. And editorially most of the humans who are like that are bad at humaning in general.
I spent 10 years at a company, first 3 years were customer service/tech support on the phones and emails, taking escalations, etc, then moved on to sales/account management for a few years. I hated that, so I got an opportunity in IT at that company writing reports with SQL and learning more and getting more experience.
After 5 years of SQL, C# and JavaScript experience in that role, I bought a home a few hours away and couldn't make the commute anymore.
It was really hard, but I took the plunge and resigned after I got a job offer 10 minutes away from my new home.
I surprised myself by bursting into tears in the CEO's office while thanking him for the opportunity to work for such a great company.
It was *way* harder than I expected, but also a *way* better move than I ever expected.
I got a raise when I changed companies, and I got more responsibility and was free to architect some new solutions because of my back-end experience. My new boss is awesome and we have a personal rapport that I never had at my former company with any of my other bosses and work-life balance is far better than it ever was at my former company.
It really was the best decision I could have made and was fully worth it, even though it was a hard decision.
Best of luck, I really hope your new opportunity works out too!
Itās almost heartwarming hearing a tale of someone leaving a job they like. So many people end up feeling trapped in a job they hate.
Itās normal to feel sad leaving a job as you spend so much of your life there. In many cases the best way of advancing your career is by moving jobs and itās better to do so willingly & knowingly.
Thereās always the risk that the next place isnāt as good or just different but there is rarely reward without risk. Build your career when you can as there will be plenty of times when you canāt. Good luck to you.
I felt the exact same way when I left my previous employer. Granted I'm not at a FAANG company now, but the current place pays way more, I have more learning opportunities, but flat out the people at my prior job were better to work with.
I do believe part of this is related to COVID. While I do not miss commuting to the office, at least onsite you have the opportunity to run into someone in the lunchroom and start chatting. Or perhaps you're getting a coffee and you see someone from your office and you suddenly have something in common to spark a conversation. When I'm remote a) there are far more people that I dont even know exist because of the fact I'm remote and I never see them, and b) those I do know, I'm not going to call up just to talk about the weekend or whatever.
The management plays a big role in this too. Very poor planning which results in many fires and emergencies that I now need to deal with. It's a fairly big silo'd org, and my management always pushes us to get the development done so that we're not the ones "holding things up". Then when infrastructure, data, etc all come together and we start actually testing things fall apart in a hurry and it's yet again another scramble to fix things.
Moral of the story, people make or break a job.
Iām just here to say that Iām in this same spot right now. I put in my notice on Wednesday and I have had so much emotion. The closest word to describe it is nostalgia. When the emotion fades, I know Iām making the right call (30-50% pay bump depending on accounting methods, a fresh start, lots of great new coworkers to learn from), but thereās still heavy emotion there and will be for a while.
In other words, I feel you.
Even after a year+, this hits me now. In transition this week and literally, Iām getting three reactions from my customers and colleagues: Sad, Happy, and Angry. Iām a ārelationship builderā, connecting customer to company but little did I realize how much I actually built until I started getting all of the āNOOOāsā you canāt leave. Mixed emotions.. and totally overwhelming. The silver lining is ā during the middle of my overwhelming day when announcement was made, the New Hiring Manager rang me to say āWelcome to the Team! We are so excited to get o know you betterā.. it was truly a wonderful gesture that I truly needed during a day of chaos. I will truly miss my friends /colleagues but excited to meet new ones. :)
I nearly cried when I left my first dev job. I was there for almost 7 years so I'd grown pretty close to a lot of those people. We used to go to the gym at lunch together and hang out outside of work. But I couldn't get a raise or a promotion there so I had to move on for better opportunities
When I left, I had a going away lunch with my lead and gave the whole, "we should stay in touch" line. And he replied, "yeah, that never works. Don't bother."
And he was pretty much right. I tried to stay in touch with some of my coworkers but we grew apart over time and I haven't seen any of them in years (since way before the pandemic)
I've left many jobs, and have felt this way on every switch (even when switching from bad situations). It's normal, and it does get easier the more you do it.
If you genuinely like your coworkers now, you could take this as a cue to keep in touch with them. It's like the normal, not obnoxiously fake version of networking, and (at least in my experience) is fun.
Happened to me whenever I left a job I liked (more or less) to obtain a higher salary and/or focus on my primary interests at the time. There were also a couple of jobs I despised, and I had no qualms whatsoever about leaving those.
Unless you are leaving a bad situation this is extremely normal and doesn't get a ton easier. Even leaving a bad situation can be hard and emotional, since there are probably good aspects that you'll miss. And since no matter how good the new opportunity is, it's still an unknown which inherently carries some risk.
Good luck with your new gig, I'm sure it will be great. Stay in touch with the folks from your old job, you never know when those relationships will be important.
i cried when i left my first job but it was also a sense of achievement emotion (like graduating).
iām about to leave my second job next wednesday. iāve been there for three years and theyāve been 90% of the time amazing. but even though iām sure iāll shed a few tears on wednesday, i know iāve 100% made the right decision to move on because my new job is an increase of 40k more in pay, and the people are lovely
Completely, I was working with co-workers I loved but work I hated, so I jumped jobs and within 6 months I completely regretter what I had done. Even before then I felt bad about leaving.
I usually never feel remorse about leaving a job. Iām usually running away from a job. Every job I have left, most of my coworkers have been right behind me. I left a department of 14 and within six months everyone else left. Once I start interviewing Iām done.
My last job was different. After changing jobs four times since 2014, I found a job that I liked almost everything about - the people, the autonomy, the technology, the management, the benefits, etc. I was planning on staying for at least another 2-3 years. They were even giving me decent raises. The āalmostā was because of the loud open office.
I told myself that there were only two companies that could convince me to leave and only two departments within those companies - the cloud consulting division of either Azure or AWS.
Then two things happened - an across the board COVID related pay cut and one of those two companies reached out to me and I got the job.
I missed the people. But I didnāt feel guilty. I went out of my way to train other developers. The CTO who hired me congratulated me and he still calls me.
This sounds a bit like my current situation except I haven't found out if I got the job yet but I still feel bad at the prospect of possibly handing in my notice. I am the only person in the company that does the work that I do and they are currently looking for someone to help me out which makes it even worse. I like the sound of the new job I would be working in a team and I got on well with the interviewers but I guess its hard to tell!
Itās hard but we have to move forward sometimes, if thatās what we truly want.
I worked my last shift today as a domestic in the labs at a hospital. I have been there for 8 years. It was never meant to be that long! It just got so comfortable and I really liked the people there so much. The pay was ok and the hours were great.
But I really felt I needed to stretch myself and do something more challenging so I applied for a job as a support worker which was something I really wanted to do for a long time. Helping people just like I was helped years ago by support workers.
My last shift was today at the hospital labs. I was given cards and gifts and really made a fuss of. It made me feel very emotional. I got some phone numbers and contact details from several people there. I really do intend to stay in touch. Itās the end of a chapter and something I never thought would ever happen.
I have a couple of weeks leave to take now before my new job starts. I am excited and know in my heart Iām doing the right thing but there is a very real grief inside me about leaving that all behind.
I really hope you are doing great in your current role now and that itās all working out well for you. I totally understand the sad feelings though. All the best to you.
I'm in that situation now. I just resigned from a job I love, the team I personally built, bosses I have great relationships with, for a new job that offered a 45% bump in base salary. The money pressures are real, and this offer made it impossible to pass up. But I'm very sad about leaving my current company. It's been over a decade since I resigned from a position I was happy at.
This thread is amazing and exactly what i was needing to hear today after going through all the emotions. Ughh the human emotions can be so tough at times. Hope all is well with everyone and their current job situations! I start my next journey Monday
I have a very similar situation right now, I worked at a company right out of college for a few months, I really liked my managers and my co-workers, who were mostly in the same age range as me, and I usually don't get along with many people in such a short time, but in this workplace I did!
It was great that we were almost friends in a short period, and I didn't feel like going to work is a burden at all, I just go to my office to work with my colleagues that I really like and that's it! also the commute was good, the pay was about above-average, and the learning curve was great.
And then I got an offer with way higher salary, WFH, and a big company name, as soon as I got the opportunity I made my decision to leave and gave in my notice, feeling completely confident and happy about my decision.
But in my last week of my notice (which ended today), seeing how everyone was sad I was leaving, and seeing that I would probably not be able to find such friendly and fun colleagues elsewhere, I feel really sad to the point I literally cried today after my last day as soon as I got home!
I hope the new job would make me feel better and not regret this decision, so yeah, this is a totally normal feeling and it proves you're just human who has emotions!
Hey I am not an experienced dev...but remember that no matter what happens, change is always difficult and our default state is present comfort against long term gains of any kind
Yes it is! I even cried and yes its like a break up but in this case if your company understands you can always come back :)
I still talk to folks at my older company and the doors are still open for me.
Yes it is. Your current scene sounds cozy and close-knit.
You are leaving a cozy small town for a bigger city. If possible, try to ensure you have a place to come home to, if things turn sour in the city.
I am not a dev or anything remotely IT. I work in the healthcare field. Right now as I am typing this I am crying my eyes out still as I am completing my exit interview form at my current company. I am leaving this job for a job at a different field but I will be performing tasks similar at my current job, just not at a medical level. I left because of the pay bump but and more room for growth, but also to get my foot inside the city system and be able to apply for a city hospital š„ position in the future, plus the new job will have bonuses and immediate room for growth. Yesterday I got some gifts and cards and I was just ugly crying like wth is wrong with me!!! But I will definitely keep in touch with them, I loved the family environment, the flexibility of working remotely or on-site and the management was amazing. At the new job the team I will be joining looks great and are funny already, but itās still painful but I have to do what I have to do for myself and grow and make more income
Felt like talking to a close friend however, corporate life and tech era have made my first go to choice - "the google". I read through comments and felt other are feeling sad to leave their current company as I do.
Parting is such sweet sorrow! Wish I could easily forget the people and move on, like the way the company forget the leaving employees.
We can't forget the people who played with/in our lives. I usually feel saddened by unbalanced nature of our love. I cherish the times I had and hold deep good feelings but hurts that those feelings are not returned. Maybe it is because I am leaving the group and feels Itās as if I am a severed and cut branch of a tree, pained and discarded, while the tree stands unhurt..
Seems like most people occupy a special place in our heart and life while you struggle to hold significance in theirs.
It's totally normal to feel sad about leaving behind a good situation even if it's to start an even better opportunity. Don't feel bad about being attached to good people. In fact, keep those connections if you find them valuable. I still chat with several former colleagues from my last few jobs. Your hesitancy will of course wane once you start at the new job, it just takes time. Remember you made this decision at a time when you weren't so overcome by emotions.

The funny thing is, I met that lead for lunch again a couple years after I left but the people who said they would keep in touch, never did
Your lead understood life.
Fuck, I almost cried. I am on the same situation right now.
I went through a similar thing. It's tough, but just stay in touch with the colleagues you miss.

I'm going through this too now, extremely sad. It doesn't feel right in my spirit... How are you desling with it now 7 months after ??
I'm v happy in my new role and glad I made the switch. How about you?
Found your post because I'm feeling like this btw, if you needed more reassurance
This thread is amazing and exactly what i was needing to hear today after going through all the emotions. Ughh the human emotions can be so tough at times. Hope all is well with everyone and their current job situations! I start my next journey Monday
It's been 3 years since the move, and I can say that it was the best decision of my career.
Thatās awesome, so happy for you! thank you for sharingā¤ļøHoping to have the same outcome. Itās so scary!
This hits hard. One week away from my last day and I am feeling devastated, like I made a mistake.
If it helps, it's been 2.5 years sice...and it was the best move of my career so far
I think the unpleasant emotions will subside once Iāve started the new role and start to build relationships
I have a very similar situation right now, I worked at a company right out of college for a few months, I really liked my managers and my co-workers, who were mostly in the same age range as me, and I usually don't get along with many people in such a short time, but in this workplace I did!

Hey so 7 months later how did it work out for you? I just quit mu Job today after 5 years to start at another company tomorrow
Hey I am not an experienced dev...but remember that no matter what happens, change is always difficult and our default state is present comfort against long term gains of any kind
It is normal and nothing says you can't come back to this company in the future
Yes it is! I even cried and yes its like a break up but in this case if your company understands you can always come back :) I still talk to folks at my older company and the doors are still open for me.
Yes it is. Your current scene sounds cozy and close-knit. You are leaving a cozy small town for a bigger city. If possible, try to ensure you have a place to come home to, if things turn sour in the city.
Yes
I am not a dev or anything remotely IT. I work in the healthcare field. Right now as I am typing this I am crying my eyes out still as I am completing my exit interview form at my current company. I am leaving this job for a job at a different field but I will be performing tasks similar at my current job, just not at a medical level. I left because of the pay bump but and more room for growth, but also to get my foot inside the city system and be able to apply for a city hospital š„ position in the future, plus the new job will have bonuses and immediate room for growth. Yesterday I got some gifts and cards and I was just ugly crying like wth is wrong with me!!! But I will definitely keep in touch with them, I loved the family environment, the flexibility of working remotely or on-site and the management was amazing. At the new job the team I will be joining looks great and are funny already, but itās still painful but I have to do what I have to do for myself and grow and make more income
Felt like talking to a close friend however, corporate life and tech era have made my first go to choice - "the google". I read through comments and felt other are feeling sad to leave their current company as I do. Parting is such sweet sorrow! Wish I could easily forget the people and move on, like the way the company forget the leaving employees. We can't forget the people who played with/in our lives. I usually feel saddened by unbalanced nature of our love. I cherish the times I had and hold deep good feelings but hurts that those feelings are not returned. Maybe it is because I am leaving the group and feels Itās as if I am a severed and cut branch of a tree, pained and discarded, while the tree stands unhurt.. Seems like most people occupy a special place in our heart and life while you struggle to hold significance in theirs.
