How did the initial conversation with your manager go about you leaving? I've definitely left companies before instead of just switching teams because it felt like I had a tough time explaining that my wanting to switch teams wasn't the manager's fault and it was easier to explain wanting to switch companies instead without making it seem like a personal affront to the manager. I'm wondering now if I wasn't giving my old manager enough credit for taking bad news well.

I was rebuked in my transfer request at a startup because "transfers were rewards" and my manager didn't like me.
