I think "I" as an individual should always be look out for better profits and opportunities, as the companies them selves do. Main objective of a company is to make $$ and increase profits. Then why should an individual feel guilty if hey have a better opportunity for more money and better opportunity. Questions on ethics and loyalty should not even arise because companies most often than not make more money per employee than individual salaries. Do they feel guilty? As for friends you can always keep in touch even after you leave your job. Finally if this doesn't not convince you, just think of it this way if there were layoffs and your team was under the axe, will your company even give it a second thought about laying you all off?
