Advice needed: I just received an offer today and finally breaking out of big4! I intend to accept the offer, but unsure about how to time my resignation. My target last day would be the second week of Feb but I’m conscious that this would mean almost 1 month of early notice. I’m hoping this will give me an excuse to dodge new assignments and avoid wasting everyone’s time with things like training, coaching, etc. and focus on transition and wrapping up my current projects. Any downsides to this?

Don’t give early notice if you don’t want to risk being let go sooner. Just be lazy with work without compromising the team and say no to new responsibilities and delay/ postpone any training and coaching conversations.

Yeah, they might pay you out for 2 weeks and ask you to leave. The downside is that will cause your benefits/ healthcare to expire in Jan too. It honestly depends on firm and while most people don’t recommend it, I honestly haven’t seen this actually play out badly.

Agree with C1 just give two weeks once you complete or at least start your background for the new job .

Thanks - yes waiting for the background check to clear makes total sense

Take time off randomly and slack out as much as you can w/o impacting your team end of Jan and then make it official

2 weeks. You are not the first person to leave Deloitte. They will be fine with 2 weeks transition, as they have seen this situation thousands and thousands of times.
