You should not feel at all guilty. We all have to make a living and should have no qualms about taking the offer that best suits us. After all, no employer would hesitate for a moment to hire the staff that best suited them.
Some of us still value loyalty.
(not a dig at Aerofurb, I know exactly where he’s coming from).

Loyalty doesn’t pay bills.
With very, very few exceptions an employer will let an employee go without a second thought if it’s in their interest to do so.
If loyalty were to mean anything I would expect it to cut both ways. I am under no illusions that my employer of some ten years (a large multinational) holds any loyalty to me and accordingly I hold no loyalty to it. The arrangement is a mercenary one, and for me to pretend otherwise would be foolish and naiive.
