Hey Reddit,
I'm in a bit of a dilemma and could really use some advice and insights from you all. Six weeks ago, I started a new job at Company X, and things have been going relatively well. However, I recently received an offer from Company Y that aligns perfectly with my career plan and comes with a salary that's double what I'm currently making.
While it's an amazing opportunity, I can't shake off the guilt and conflict I feel about resigning from my current position. I don't want to leave my new team in a tough spot, especially so soon after joining. On the other hand, this offer from Company Y represents a significant step forward for my career, both financially and in terms of professional growth.
Has anyone been in a similar situation before? How did you handle it? I'd love to hear your stories and advice on how to approach this situation tactfully and professionally. How can I navigate the conversation with my current employer, explaining my decision without burning bridges?
PS: both jobs are in the same location
