I'm handing in my two weeks next week to go work for a competitor that offered me a 60% salary bump + benefits, after seven months in a contract role. My coworkers have treated me well and I imagine it'll be a surprise that I'm leaving, so how do I structure that conversation? Do I ask my lead if they can meet with me and deliver the news like that, or send an email, or tell my staffing agency first and go from there? It's my first time resigning, so any tips on getting through the conversation?
