Hi everyone,

I have been working at my current company for two years, having started remotely due to the pandemic. I sort of struggled a bit with the remote start, finding it more difficult to get accustomed to the work but things improved over time. However, my end of year review last year was not great and my manager discussed some areas that I am still struggling with and what I need to do to improve. As a result, I did not get a raise, which wasnt totally unexpected. We revisited this conversation a couple of months ago as I had slowly been implementing some strategies we discussed but had not put quite as much effort and urgency into it. Since then, I've really ramped up my efforts and things have been steadily improving. The thing is, I don't really think this particular job is the best fit for me, which is why it has been such a struggle. So I started applying for new roles and just accepted a position that I think will be a better fit for me. When I broke the news to my boss, she seemed very surprised but said she understood, of course. Since then, I've not been able to shake this guilty, sad feeling about leaving. I know it's the right choice for me and for the team honestly, since they'll be able to hopefully find someone who will be a better fit for this work. But I don't understand why I'm feeling so unsettled about my decision. Since putting in my notice, I've felt a sense of relief about leaving and I'm on track to successfully wrap up and hand over my current projects before my end date (I am not really behind on anything and won't be leaving anything in disarray). Am I just overreacting? Has anyone ever been in a similar situation? If so, was there anything that you were able to do to put your mind at ease? I feel really silly for feeling this way.
