Any tips on giving two week’s notice at when leaving Big4 audit? Best practices? Thinking of doing a short video call with my senior manager to give her the news directly. Then another brief call with HR to tell them. Thoughts?

Unless you have a bad or nonexistent relationship with your team, I’d recommend calling at least the executives of your team before informing HR- I did and they definitely seemed to appreciate it. Would also do the same for anyone at the firm you’d rather hear from you that you’re leaving than thru the grapevine

I put my two weeks notice in last week. I informed one of the managers on my team, my coach, and partner. Then I emailed HR. Your team would rather hear from you directly than HR.

Anybody have any resources/tools/exercises they can suggest to help with understanding strategy (i.e., high level thinking)? Nowadays a lot of my day-to-day involves strategic thinking and I’m more of a “in the weeds” kind of dude. It’s been challenging to see the bigger picture. Need to start thinking outside the circle and not so much about what’s inside. I’m fact, I want to start thinking that it might not be a circle at all.
