Leave a respectful note and put it in a backpack with wires hanging out. Leave it near your RP's office, so it gets to the right person.

Agree with C1, my exit interview from another B4 was just a handoff of my badge and I walked out alone and got a croissant across the street. I got an email for the survey and when I clicked the link the site immediately said, "Thanks for completing the survey!", with no questions. Not kidding.

There's no way to do it. I left and I just didn't get the chance! Just leave and let those assholes keep being themselves.

Thank everyone for the opportunity to work together and provide constructive feedback to individuals that drove your decision to leave.

On the real though... once bonus is paid, give notice. Your exit interview with HR and that survey are shit. Not built to allow for real feedback because guess what??? They don't care. Only person who may listen is your RP or practice leads... especially if you were a consistent high performer. No matter how you feel, I do recommend being tactful about it.

What happens if you give notice before the bonus is paid???

Can they fire you before so they don't pay it out?

Did you come from industry? I did and worst experience of mine too.

If you give notice in advance they may try to accelerate your exit (especially if you aren't staffed) and you get none of it. I've seen in some cases folks give 2 weeks notice and they are out in 3 days.

Not first rodeo in consulting. Booz for 5 years and smaller ones overseas and in the states for the remainder.

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
