I'll start by saying that I really enjoy my job (software), my work environment, and I feel like although I'm a junior member of the team, I am a pretty hard worker and get a lot done.
However, for a variety of reasons, I am moving far, far away from this horrible city, and with it, quitting my job. I've spoken with a few companies in the city I will be moving to, and both said something along the lines of "I'm confident that if you just come here and start applying you'll have a job in no time. But, we can't afford to wait for you to get here." Every job I've seen comes with a SUBSTANTIALLY higher paycheck than what I receive now.
I'm guessing many of you have had the experience of leaving an otherwise pleasant job for FIRE, having children, or whatever. I'm a people pleaser by nature and I am worried that after giving my 2 weeks, it will be an awkward time around the office. 2 other developers have recently left the company, and I expect that the remaining employees will be scrambling to make deadlines after I quit. I feel bad about leaving at a busy time in the company, when other developers will have to absorb my work.
What can I say to my boss and coworkers to make this period go smoothly? It's not a question of IF or WHEN i quit my job. I'm giving my 2 weeks on Friday. I just want it to go well and not burn any bridges in the process. Advice?
