    Thanks Thyagarajan.. Good points to think about.. Pension.. what to say ? Not like pension the public sector receives in India.. We have to build our pension pot. If you contribute, your employer also contributes.. employer contribution is more or less same in both the companies. Both are giving better pensions than other companies.

    The new company is also a known devil for me, as I have worked there previously..

    Dont know.. let me think about it again..

    Good, then do your research - after all, you're an investor bank-rolling this experiment with your life-energy! For example:

    (a) If this company is publicly traded, you can use historical performance data and ask how they did during recessions, in the context of the market overall and in comparison to other players in that industry.

    (b) If you have friends in the City or on Wall Street or whatever, you can ask them to give you some sort of projection/prediction for expected performance in your time-frame (of course, with the usual caveats about 'forward-looking statements ...' and 'past-performance not being indicative of future ...', blah-blah). They can evaluate factors such as exposure in Europe for this company, volatility due to Brexit, etc.

    There are no guarantees, but even if things don't go your way, you'll know that given information and data-points, you did your best to be thoughtful and systematic. You will know that you took a calculated risk for something you want, not a foolhardy leap into the void. This is the insurance industry - so risk assessment ought to be a core-competency!:lol:

    As the guilt comes rolling, you begin to question the decision. You feel awful that you’re leaving your team ....

    It is a human nature, climb into positions with new challenges and responsibilities, as long as it doesn’t affect your health, marriage or lifestyle negatively.

    One other thing – If you discover that the amazing job is nothing like what you expected, don’t beat yourself up. Every experience—good or bad—is an opportunity to learn and grow. You’ll now be even more diligent about finding the right role for you moving forward!

    If you think that you won't have buyers remorse, for some reason, after 12 months you are let go.

    Assuming you manage your departure gracefully, you absolutely shouldn’t feel guilty.

    1. Imagine the Shoe on the Other Foot: Loyalty to a corporation used to be an expectation but times have changed. Although your HR department or bosses would probably feel bad laying you off or letting you go, the corporation itself won’t. Imagining the shoe on the other foot is a great way to alleviate any guilt you have for leaving the company itself.

    2. Bridges Don’t Need to Burn: You’ve probably developed a few great relationships with your coworkers, bosses, clients, or customers during your time at your current company. If so, part of the guilt you’re feeling is most likely stemming from the idea of leaving them behind. The best way to develop a solid professional network is to avoid burning bridges. Keep in contact with your favorite people from your current job and you’ll feel less guilty while building a great professional network.

    3. It’s Never A Perfect Time: If you’re waiting for peace and calm before you abandon ship, you may miss the right career opportunity for you. Instead of feeling guilty, give your bosses ample notice and try to wrap up your current projects to the best of your ability before you leave. Document your work and leave a list of what you couldn’t get done before it was time to leave.

    4. Growth Requires Change: No one wants a stagnant career with no growth and some companies, for one reason or another, can’t offer the kind of growth opportunities you need to thrive. When there are no opportunities for growth at your current company or you don’t feel like you’re learning anything new, it’s okay to make a change. In fact, it’s expected. Making a change for growth reasons shouldn’t make you feel guilty.

    5. It’s Usually Desperation Not Disappointment: If your boss or coworkers had a less-than-enthusiastic reaction to your announcement that you were leaving, don’t take it as disappointment. Usually these negative reactions are less about you and more about the panic that they feel now that they have to replace you. Confusing this desperation with disappointment can often lead to increased guilt but, if you can recognize the difference between the two, you can kiss those guilty feelings goodbye!

    6. If you stay, out of guilt, you do no one favors: If you stay on out of guilt, in the long run you may become more and more resentful or non-productive in your role, and the employer will be negatively impacted.

    7. Guilt will disrupt the joy of your last two weeks: Even when you’re downright ecstatic about your pending transition, quitting a job can be emotionally tough.
