Give them 2 weeks, tell new employer you need 3-4 and then enjoy a damn break bro
Subject Expert
Two weeks is all you should offer.
If they need three or four, they’ll ask and you can ask for a pot-sweetener to work during the weeks you’d take off to transition to the new role.
“I’d like to inform you I’m leaving. I am giving two weeks notice so that my work is able to be transitioned to other members of the team without the transactions suffering.”
That’s all you need to say/offer.
I think up to 4 weeks is reasonable. Should be plenty for your old firm to transition you and will show good faith effort not to screw them over even if they’d prefer you to stay longer
Would two live deals set to close 11/30 be a good excuse? Because that is my exact situation
Congrats - which industry would this be in?
healthcare!
Just give standard two weeks to roll projects to someone else. It's not your problem you're leaving.
Plus, during your notice you're not going to be doing any meaningful work. Would you want someone who's on the way out to take the reigns?
Chances are they're mentally checked out and what's the point if they're not going to be around in a few weeks when it needs to get tweaked?
May I please ask what your process leading to the offer was like? Did you find the opportunity via network or off LinkedIn, etc.
Helps a ton! Thank you
It’s business man. It’s okay to give them two weeks and give yourself a break.
