Do I tell my manager I’m leaving the company before their 5 day birthday PTO or after?
If I tell, it would be the day before their last day. If I hold on to it will be 2 weeks before my last day.
I want to help interview for replacement if they want me to. Also wrapping up my project and Demi going into surge support work, which I expect to do while they’re OOO.

Tell them during.

Wait until after. Let them enjoy their PTO. While an employee leaving may cause some strain it’s honestly not the soon to be ex employee’s responsibility to figure out what the team will do. Your manager should be able to adjust. You’re not the first employee in history to leave a company so don’t feel too bad. Two weeks notice is well enough time for them to prepare regardless of the deadlines and pressures. It’s also considered an acceptable standard notice.

After. I’d rather come back to work and get hit with this with 2 weeks to solve it than stress about staffing during my vacation when I’m meant to unplug.

Before. More notice is better. They can still unplug on PTO, but give them as much lead time as you can.

Before. You are not the only thing in life they care about. This will give them some time to think through things.

I waited to give notice until after my boss left for vacation because I didn't want to saddle her with this burden while she was on a trip.

They don’t need the extra time - we will fill your role. There’s a reason it’s 2 week not 4 week notice.

I prepared a presentation for an interview with a sales leader, it went well and I was offered a final interview with regional manager. The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?
