How to leave small office !!!help!!!

I am currently a 2nd year analyst at a high volume debt shop.

I have been feeling as if my learning has greatly plateaued over the last 5 months and started looking.

I received an offer from a local developer (current client of ours) on their capital team and would like to take it, but worry of how current bosses will take it.

Any advice for leaving a small office?

This opportunity is what I want/need to develop my skills.

With that being said it’s still eating me alive.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

 

Just put in your two weeks and leave. 

I know you're young and this is probably very overwhelming, but it happens all the time and people get over it. 

I was someone's first resignation once and he cried, but he got over it. 

You gotta think about yourself first, these guys would drop you the second you're no longer useful to them.

You have to do what's best for you, leave amicably but great opportunity for you congratulations. Think about it if they had to fire you tomorrow to save their business they would, take the opportunity in this tough market to go after your goals, no one else will likely push you to take it you have to decide. What if you turn this down out of loyalty and business dries up in a year and they let you go? You never know what will happen, stay in touch with these guys and give them 2 week notice. 

I usually haven't shared where I am going with people until I start, due to the fact they've had relationships with the firm in the past and you never know people could be mad and screw you. I would advise maybe not sharing the name with your firm if you leave and just saying you'll tell them when you start but it's an owner/dev and you will stay in touch. They'll find someone to take your role, there are a lot of ppl waiting for good jobs right now.

It is the same advice as any office.  Go in to whoever you report to, tell them that you've appreciated the time you spent and the mentoring and experience they gave you (lie through your teeth if you must) and tell them you have a great opportunity you can't pass up. That's it.

I hate to tell you this, but your an analyst.  No one is going to care that much if you leave.  You are expected to do what is best for your career, and you're way overthinking this whole thing.  As with everything else in your life, treat the situation with professionalism and respect and no one will have an issue.
