Like The People, Hate the Group

Analyst finishing up my first year has I’ve gotten a few lateral offers to much stronger firms. I really like the junior people at my firm and I think we are all very good friends. I want to get a better experience and my analyst friends are supportive of me leaving. Any thoughts on this? I generally feel sad leaving them even if it’s a better career move
