Ooh I just had to do this. I told one partner (one who wasn’t a dick lol) that I thoroughly appreciated my experience that I had gained at current company and appreciated all the mentorship and opportunities, but I had found another role that was aligned to my interests and I was leaving to pursue that. They’ll often ask if there’s anything they can do to keep you (if they like you, that is) and I just said like I appreciate that so much but no. And reiterated that I hoped we could keep in touch and maybe our paths would cross again in the future. The partner was so gracious about it and it went way better than I expected. Nowwww I also had a dick-ish partner to tell and they just didn’t even believe that I was really putting my two weeks in, gaslighted me, tried to invalidate my decision and tell me I was making a mistake and then not even thank me for the hard work over the years or anything remotely nice lmao. As much as that convo sucks, it ultimately validates your decision to leave too
This, be kind and direct. If you are appreciated they will understand but ask if there is anything that can be done. Employers should understand this is about you and not them.
