Currently contracting but just had a perm job offer. My notice period is two weeks contractually but I would like to do a proper hand over and not burn any bridges. I’m also conscious my new employer wants me to start as soon as possible, what’s a reasonable notice period to give to keep both sides happy?

Two weeks? That’s a decent stretch for handover given you’re a contractor

Also check if the new job has set start dates you need to align with or you can choose which day to begin

Surely at this point of the year you’d want to start perm job 5th of Jan and utilise meantime to handover and document as best as you can (+ clip some dough on the run up to christmas)
