As the world's formost expert on bridge burning I come to you with hat in hand a humble man.
Without being too specific, I may have an opportunity to go to another company in a part of the world that I want to live in. My current employer is *GREAT* and other than domicile requirements, I would be glad to stay put. I don't want to leave the current employer in *any* sort of bind as they have been incredibly good to me. However, I also don't want to be "unreasonably" available for the new gig and possibly lose it.
So here's the question: If accepting the job offer from the new employer would put my current company in a bind I would be hesitant to accept it. However, would that close the door on me ever going there in the future? Am I going to tee off the guys trying to hire me through my loyalty to the current employer? I don't want to burn a bridge at either place...
It's a real quandary.
I appreciate any input.
