Also, if management reacts really badly, you don’t have to stay the 2 weeks. Staying 2 weeks is typical and happens when both sides handle the departure well, but if management reacts badly you can go the day you resign. So, be prepared to go as soon as you resign, just in case.

Same. Not nervous though. Excited. Feel sad for the people I like who will have to pick up the slack, but that’s about it.

You’ll do great! Don’t say anything negative, sometimes managers can sense when you’re about to resign. When I resigned this year I said “thanks for meeting with me. It’s never ideal to say something like this for the team or company, I’m putting in my notice as another big opportunity has come my way. This decision was not easy to make and rest assured I will do everything to wrap up and help with transitions…”

I once had a manager try to let me go later that day cause she was pissed, but the other execs told me to stay and wfh. In another role my boss burst out crying and said sorry and tried to keep me. Know that whatever happens, hold your ground and trust you’ll figure it out!

And congrats!

Hey there, you got this. I was in the same boat as you last month and gave ample notice but still felt bad. Change isn’t easy but the best piece of advice i can offer is that you have to always do what is best for you. Best of luck tomorrow and congratulations on your new gig ❤️

Odds are they will sigh wearily and figure out how to move on. It’s the business. They know people are looking. And it’s even more so now.

Why are you nervous about how management will react?

Businesses don’t have feelings. They’d get rid of you for “business reasons” at the drop of a hat. Good luck at your new gig.

What are they gonna do, be mad? Wave goodbye with a smile. You seem happy with the change. Their feelings don’t really matter. In my experience, quitting is harder in your head than in reality.

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

I have an interview for a LTC/Rehab Nurse Manager, Infection Preventionist position next week. My base salary is $40/hour as a charge nurse.

How do I leverage that to avoid a pay cut. Also, any tips from people in this position?

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
