Leaving a Job and worried about being viewed as a liar
I'll start off by staying that this is my first post and I'm on mobile so sorry for any formatting problems.
Shortly after graduating college I found work at a company. During the interview process I said that I was interested in starting a career with the company and sticking with them for a long time. After being hired the manager expressed that what I said played a big role in the decision to hire me. At the time I said this I truly believed in what I said. Well, 2 years later I find myself far more antsy and homesick than I thought I would be. I genuinely enjoy the work I do and I can't speak highly enough of my team but I dont feel happy with where I am. What I'm trying to ask is would it be disingenuous of me to leave the company after working for 2 years considering what I said during my interview? I don't want my team or my manager to feel like I lied during the interview in order to get the job or feel cheated because I didn't keep my word. This is the first real job I've had and I don't want to ruin my career before I even really start it.
