Hey guys so today i recieved a verbal job offer at a new startup , i am ecstatic because i have been looking to leave my current company for a while and the new salary would be 50% raise increase which i am ecstatic about .

The only issue i have is that my current team at work is the first team i ever worked with (we were disbanded and got a chance to work together again at a new company) . We've been friends and work colleagues for years i have been to their weddings, personal parties, seen the birth of their children , and they have seen me grow from a bright eyed young college kid to a young man starting to find his way . Basically they mean a lot to me on a personal level.

I am going to take the job , financially, professionally, and personally it makes sense to however i can't help but acknowledge i feel like my life will take a dramatic turn with an increased distance between me and some of my closest friends . So i know what i am going to do but is there any advice to make me feel a bit better about this decision?
