A senior engineer on my team is leaving, and our manager sent a link for a farewell gift card. She mentored me when I was a junior, so I want to chip in, but I can't see what others are giving and have never done this before. She makes great money if that matters. The default options are $20, $30, and $50. What's standard here? Is $30 enough, or should I go higher since she helped me so much?

Think about the size of the team and how much it would be if everyone gave the same amount as you. Use that as a gauge. I just personally gave $25 in an office collection for a teammate.

$25 or $50

Agreed
