Any advice for how to give notice after returning from maternity leave? I recently received an offer for an in-house position with hours that will be much better for my family than my current big law job. I also got the sense that my current employer was going to push me out upon my return from maternity leave so it’s a blessing to get a new role, but I don’t want to leave a bad taste in people’s mouths.

Check your firm's policies and make sure that they don't have a policy requiring you to work for a certain period of time after you return from mat leave.

Big law to in-house is considered a “good exit,” so there is unlikely to be any issue. Post-mat leave is a common exit point. Tell everyone you care to hear from you on the same day. Word travels super fast. Exit in a way that you can come back if you want to some day. I had a friend leave for a few years in-house who came back when her kids were in school.

Congrats!! In a very similar position and hoping to find a new role before I go back in August; really think they’re looking to push me out as soon as they can. Happy for you!

Thank you and good luck!!

I saw on the Internet that there’s a guy you can hire to come give a town-crier-style announcement that you’re leaving, complete with revolution-era diction and attire.

But seriously, I don’t think anybody cares. The main thing is to not leave bombs in cases you’re leaving behind.

I'll be applying for a Service Desk manager position in the coming months. I'm looking to get a realistic salary range (online ranges vary drastically). I have 7 years experience in IT end user support. 4 years of these 7 years include having direct reporting employees in a supervisory role.

I am a Senior Manager of Software Engineering and lead architect at a small company (was a startup with < 10 employees when I joined, now has > 50). I am the most senior technical person in the company (we don't have a CTO, I report to the COO), even though I only have 4.5 YOE. By God's grace I have been able to succeed in the role, but feel that I am underpaid and would like your input.
