How to handle emotions while switching companies

Hey Folks, I’m in a phase where I have decided to move out from my present company. My present company is very dear to me as it gave me the taste of what success looks like. Honestly, I would have never made it had I not received the support and backing that I got here.

I don’t know if I am making the correct decision. Emotions are literally overflowing. One side of mine tells me that I am making the wrong decision whereas the other side is excited to see what future holds for me.

Literally anxious of all the thoughts that are crossing my mind. What if , I am not able to perform at my next company ? What if , they decide to hire me and then not honour their offer letter ? What if, the company has a mass layoff and I am impacted ?

All these thoughts are literally eating me from inside. Any suggestions on how can I handle the same ?

This is such a wholesome emotion. You are not doing anything wrong. Growth makes things uncomfortable because you are leaving your cocoon. Next job may or may not be as great, but you will learn so much on your journey.

Plus, great companies are made by great people. Keep in touch with your present colleagues beyond this transition. Hold on to all the best people you find along the way!

All the best in new role, you'll be fine!

What’s wrong to love both of them :)

Because your employer is literally forcing long timers to resign so that they can make big bucks at the upcoming IPO.

It's a business, and it goes both ways. You do what's necessary, just as they do.

The more you’ll put yourself in uncomfortable positions, the more you’ll grow eventually. :)

Growth cannot happen while staying in your comfort zone. Someday you have to step out.

Know that you are only human and it is okay to experience these emotions. Why are you working? For glory, for family, for money or for the country?

If you know the answer, then it’s an easy choice.

Yeah @salt , I am working for the money. And money is fairly good in my next switch :)

There you go. Then execute this switch with sheer cut throat coldness. For what may come, god have mercy on you because your enemies won’t.
