I recently saw that two people who joined a former employer of mine after I did have stayed with that company all this time and both now run the company (one is CEO, the other is CTO). I thought hmm that could have been me, if I hadn't jumped ship. But I don't lose sleep over it. Everything is easy in hindsight and I've had other experiences, some wonderful and some not, since that I wouldn't have had if I had stayed. Basically, my point is that these things happen. You can't predict the future, you do what you feel is best at the time with the information you have. Sure, sometimes you make choices that in hindsight turned out to be the wrong ones, but that's part of life. I don't have any advice on how to deal with it, though. I guess you need to learn to let go of things that are ultimately out of your control. Learn from the past, but don't antagonize over it. Perhaps seeking some therapy might help you come to terms with it.
