Having mixed feelings!!
Is it fine for people to have mixed feelings after resigning. As my LWD comes closer, I feel like there is something bothering me on the inside. The work I did, was really great. Got appreciation from client and leadership, got in the wall of Fame as well. But the reason to leave was no promotion. Now, as I prepare myself for the next step, somewhere it seems I'm not happy enough.
Is it normal to have this kind of feeling?
Maybe some of the bond/connections I made, is making me feel that way.

I had the same feeling dude. Last few days I used to look at the cubicals, the cafeteria and remember all the good memories I had. Even the last day I was feeling sad when leaving the office after giving my laptop. But it's the part of life. We need to move on and grow :/
You might be feeling this way because you're anxious if the new company colleagues and teammates will be this good or helping. But that's normal for everything new in life this feeling is normal. You might not get good colleagues but then you need to be recognised for your efforts that's why you choose to switch. So be prepared and be happy 😊
Is it a first time switch? For me it was the same feelings when I switched for the first time, after that it didn't feel like this at all because you eventually see behind the "facade" which is culture and bonding noone will actually contact you after you have left your current workplace someone else will replace your role.
But again your feelings are valid but after a couple of switches you won't feel like this.
This is not my first switch. I know everyone will be replaced and nobody will be in contact. Hope this feeling gets hardened after switching. Moreover I feel, it might be due to the work I did, rather than bonding, which is making me feel this way.
Felt the same and it can be quite overwhelming. Remind yourself you need this change and it's for your own good and move on.
Sure
Same here buddy I am from Kolkata, currently serving np having an offer in another company located in Hyderabad, so I need to relocate, don't know how it will be , new place new experiences feeling scared and excited both in same time. I need to peft my family gf friends so I too have rhe same feeling buddy.
Hmm, that's hard. But, I'll suggest that you try to stay in the same city even if the pay is less. I know there are less opportunities in Kolkata, but still other preferences are there such as family, friends etc.
Yeah I know but as my age is only 25 , 3.2 yoe now I might need to go beyond my comfort zone , I need to earn money and settle down in near 28 29 in Kolkata so for that I need to find opportunities else where, because I am not able to find good opportunity here for my experience and skillset.
I switched around 6 months ago, this is my 3rd company in 5.5 yrs. But the last company was very kind to me, management was good, leaders were supportive, appreciative, made more than 10 close friends there, used to get award per month, got recognized for tool development by ceo himself mind you this was not a startup but a giant mnc. But But But Pay was less. No promotion, I was not even looking for a change But got a call for an interview and got selected. I approached my manager, he said let's see what can be done. But nothing happened, he said with good faith it's your decision. I had about 40% hike offer, Since I was leaving i decided to make it worth it to leave a good company. Final offer is received was 180% more than what I was earning, plus bonus. I still hangout with my friends there and speak with ex manager on call. I don't feel bad, but I know I lost a gem.
