Fellow fishbowler, I have a question regarding how to approach the partner about an upcoming resignation of the current post. I got an offer from competitor firm and I am scheduled to start with the new firm at end of the month. EY is paying me the bonus on Aug 26th. Just wonder what's the proper way to notify the partners that I believe I was close to without jeopardizing my receipt of the bonus from the firm. Thanks so much for your guidance!

They can always claw back or cancel it. Don’t give notice until you have the cash.

Thanks for the info EY2. I have not signed the contract with the firm since the recent promotion about the 1 month notice period so I think I should still be ok in this regard.

Get your money first.

Tell your mentor you're are putting in your notice.

Email HR with the partner CC'd.

Enjoy your life.

Simple and exactly what to do.

Hard for me to see a way to do all of this without jeopardizing the bonus. Performance bonuses are retrospective so you should still be entitled to it. However, if your leadership is petty...

Thanks KPMG1. I am definitely waiting till the money hits the acct before I said anything. Since the amount is sizeable and don't want to mess that up

You already have the bonus.

Until the cash hits the bank account, you have nothing.

You should’ve planned it better. You are required to give 2 week notice and they have the ability to terminate you immediately. My recommendation would be to push your start date at the new firm and tell EY after you get your bonus.

^^ take personal experience over general FB comments. What have you seen happen to other coworkers that left for a competitor? In my office we will have you work until your last day even if making a move to a direct competitor

Hi, received a job offer (accepted) with about 20K increase, 30% bonus and some stock option. Controller position at a startup company. My current company countered with 30% increase, 25% bonus and stock option (already being traded) not a controller title but darn close. Kinda torn as I believe i would have more growth at my current company.
