Any advice on how to tell my manager I'm leaving? I've never had this conversation before and I don't want to burn any bridges here.

Make sure you are 100% leaving before starting that conversation. Write a resignation letter, keep it sweet and simple. Try and have a private meeting with your manager and let them know. I usually say I appreciated my time there, and I have decided to take the next step which is leaving the company, but with more professional words.

What the person above said. Make sure you are sure you are leaving and you're not just giving them a heads up that you are planning to leave. When you resign, keep it short and sweet. There isn't anything you can do from your end to keep that bridge intact. Unfortunately, if the manager wants to take it personally, they will.

I raised the issue of rating with my manager immediately , he convinced me not to worry , ratings are already submitted , I asked him to resubmit cause i don't deserve rating 1
So he said he will look if that is possible but didn't changed .Now after 3 months they are pressurizing me to put a resignation,what should i do?

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company. The position is pretty much generalist, but I get the impression I'd be working mostly on SaaS and partnership transactions. I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!
