That’s exactly what I’m facing right now. I don’t want to leave as too many projects are under my responsibility. If I leave remaining members will have to work really hard. It is the fist time in my career I’m afraid of taking a job offer because I feel I’m too important in my company (it is a small one)

It's not personal. It's business.

If the company went down the toilet, they would say bye to you in a heart-beat.

(I was in your shoes on my first gig. They did just fine after I left.)

That’s true let me put it this way: in the past I quit jobs just for the sake of trying something new even if there was nothing wrong with the boss or the team. Now I don’t think I’ll stay on the company forever but I need to find a really great job elsewhere to be convinced to quit.
