As a BDR, I would simply say that you’re moving on and thank them for time an gained experience

Congratulations, also looking to get away from my company 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️

Look for your local Express office still be able to help you find the right position

Is it a competitor or within the same industry? If you have old school folks, of course they want a 2 week+ notice. But would they give you a two weeks notice for a layoff or if they fired you?

I have given a 1 month notice and I have given a 1 week. I'm still doing well in my career, just be mindful of burning bridges and what not.

Let them know an incredible opportunity presented itself that you cannot pass up but unfortunately it requires you to provide a shorter notice than you'd normally give. You appreciate all your time and what you've learned. Your last day will be x.

What may help is having things ready to help transition like all your leads and deals have been updated with accurate contact information and you'll be happy to have a transition email sent over to different people on the team.

Congrats and good luck !

Congratulations!

I am use to seeing people get chased off the premises once they give their notice.

I’ve done both I’ve done the “ ya know what I’m tired of your crap and literally walked out” and also done the 3 week notice and transferred everything quietly Transitioned to a new job. Really depends if your willing to burn a bridge or not. Some cases it as a small company and they were jerks so I walked out no notice. Whereas bigger corporations maybe down the road I’d like to come back yea imma need to give notice to be eligible to come back.

Midlevel M&A just lateraled to my V10 firm and have been doing 75-ish billable hrs per week for the past three weeks. I’m exhausted from sleeping 4-5hr per night. Is this typical or is my firm just toxic? Feel like I can’t physically do this long term - any thoughts on whether litigation is more sustainable or what area to switch into within biglaw?

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year. I asked if my peers experienced the same increase and the answer is No because I have more experience and up for promo this year. Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do? For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.
