Do y’all wait to notify your current job until the new job’s background check is completed and you receive your official start date? Or do you go ahead and notify them and give your two weeks when you sign a written offer letter?

I quite quit and start the new gig without resigning.

I have always waited until I had the documentation completed (background check, formal offer signed, start date established, etc).

Please wait until you have the offer in hand! I learned the hard way. Trust me on this one.

Definitely wait LOL I got my job offer in December & because buy season was approaching (was in audit)… I thought I’d do the right thing and tell my team that I was leaving & that I’m just waiting for my background check to clear so that they can be appropriately staffed. I wasn’t cleared until mid March. And my audit team went to Miami without me lol

Don’t resign until at the very least the contract is signed - they don’t owe you a brass farthing if they change their mind

If you want to be uber safe, resign only when you have completed the background check and right to work.
