Have a bimonthly meeting with my RPartner on Friday. I've been planning to leave and my work mentors have been helping. When do I tell? I don't want to waste her time. I don't want to get laid off.

Only tell once you have accepted an offer. When it comes to your career you shouldn't care if you're "wasting someone else's time". If they hear about you wanting to leave before you have accepted an offer.....lets just say I don't think it would go overly well. There was a thread on this end of last week and it was basically unanimous agreement with what I'm saying

Thanks EY1.

EY1 is right. As a general rule, anyone that has influence over your employment or staffing should be the last to know.

+1 for EY1
-3 for A1

Never never ever let HR or leadership know you want to leave until you have an offer in hand. You'll be pulled off the project immediately and escorted off premises

I've gotten a great offer. Rather than writing my two week notice, I opted to first speak with my supervisor to see what they need from me before I leave. I also let them know that I was targeting 3 weeks instead of the typical 2 weeks. They were not pleased and they noted disdain that I was only giving them 3 weeks. Then they noted it was a lot for them to take in, and they they needed to hop off the virtual call. I'm trying to be empathetic. I have mixed feelings about this. Thoughts?

This might be controversial but I work with several older Black folks, and it's from that I've experienced the most criticism or judgment at work.

I work in a firm with about 30 lawyers. Our firm primarily does civil defense work for insurance companies, employers, and some governmental entities.

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

Seeking advice! I received a job offer today and definitely want to accept but have 4 weeks of FTO on my calendar mid June through mid July. My current firm has an 80% utilization target and I’m in the 90s and booked the time towards the end of our fiscal year (july31st) to make sure it wouldn’t affect my utilization. How do I go about not missing out on this time off? I’m exhausted and need a break but it looks like the new firm would like to staff me immediately if possible.
