I'm feeling somewhat guilty right now and all I've done is chucked out a few resumes and booked in a few interviews

Fact is though I wouldn't be looking if the company was as loyal to me as vice versa I guess. I actually really like the job and the people but I need to at least keep up with inflation to avoid feeling like a clown haha

You do not owe your employer loyalty. The only thing you owe your employer is an honest day's work for a day's pay. That's it.

Those feelings are from wiring that makes sense in a small tribe of about 150 people where the social contract will involve mutual loyalty. It easily goes bad places if it is one-sided.

Good luck with your job hunt.
