Rightio,
Managed to get my self into a situation where I will probably end up dropping my current company in the crap with regards to work.
I left a company to move back to newcastle for a now ex girlfriend and took a job on lower pay but still for a very large with good prospects to move up, but the promise of the type of work I was doing wasn't met and for the past year I have been doing FEA/Downstream Work, which has given me some good experience but its boring.
However I have now been asked by my old company to come and work for them (back in aberdeen) doing heavy lift and deep water engineers (heavy lift >7000tonnes) and deep water think Gulf/Africa/Caspian aswell as deepwater pipelines which is a lot more interesting and opens me up to a lot of travel and better engineering jobs for when I go for my chartership in the next couple of years.
The problem comes is that in this office I work in a small team where we all get along (most of the time) and my boss is a really nice guy, but in the next few weeks he has lost a senior engineer (retirement) a trainee foundation uni person (operation on knee - 2months out) which leaves me, a naval arch and a technical director, I've had worries about this for a while and the new offer is perfect but how would you feel about dropping someone who has been a good boss to you in the crap because he will lose his engineers (and hasn't tried recruiting anyone to replace the retiring senior engineer either).
Sorry for the long bit, I know what my answer is, get out its work and you have to do whats right for you but doesn't make it any easier when i'm going to hand in my notice next week.
