How do you just walk away and leave for a new opp?

Btw this is a follow up on a follow up (check my posts for more details if you want more context)

So what TF happened mr. spacejam:

a few weeks ago I came back to reality and finally came to terms with the fact that I was massively underpaid for my level of seniority/ responsibility/ value I delivered to my team but enjoyed my job regardless as I was a very early hire and had a ton of autonomy. 

days later after this realization, I had a serendipitous run-in with a recruiter who reached out to me about an ENT AE role they were hiring for. 

I go ahead and have the screening and find out the comp as well as more about the company. I’m intrigued. 

at face value, the opp just feels right and is exactly what I've been wanting to transition to at my current company, but we lack the resources to enable me to do so (we’re small and still very “start-up-y”)

now it's about 1.5 weeks later, I fucking crushed the interviews, I really like the manager I would report to and just generally been getting good vibes as well. 

now I have an official offer on the table. total OTE at just shy of $200K at a 50/50 split and an initial target of just under $700K. This would be easily a 70% raise in Base salary alone not to mention the increase in expected commish. If I’m hitting target, I’m basically doubling my income. 

On one hand I know this is a strong step in the right direction for my future career/ goals, but something is still nagging me inside, like I'm leaving just before my current gig really takes off (I’m the 2nd most senior employee outside of management, I’ve also been there longer than anyone aside from the founders). I'm getting the strongest FOMO I’ve ever had before and this shit is keeping me awake at night. 

I have until Monday to give them my final decision. 

If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

It’s a business decision. Our clients leave us all the time for other solutions that fit their needs and don’t give us a second thought, so why should we?

You’re going to be paid properly. That’s a basic necessity.

You’re right. I think I’ve just been involving too much emotion in the decision. Just being too much of a simp for my current company.

Take care of yourself and take the money.    

Your current company has been good for you to this point, but you have an excellent offer in front of you and room to grow in that role.   Change is hard, but is necessary.   Best of luck!

i'm in the same boat right this moment. it's definitely tough. you feel a sense of loyalty, you feel that you have unfinished business. but, leaving emotion aside, business decision. you have loyalty, they clearly don't. you're being taken advantage of. peace out!
