hey folks, does anyone have advice on how to leave a company that you just joined? I’ve been at my company for barely two months before getting an amazing offer that I just can’t turn down. How do I leave? Should I leave before or after the holidays? My team/boss are SO nice, and I’d hate to burn a bridge. 😔

If you’re sure the offer will hold thru the holidays or that they’d be fine with a deferred start, I’d put in your notice right after the holidays. And you can describe it exactly like you did here, as a once in a lifetime and unexpected offer, with regrets and gratitude toward the team you’ve enjoyed

i did this exact thing, though i was looking to get out of a hyper-toxic work situation, so was actively searching. either way, offers don’t just fall into someone’s lap. be prepared to answer why you were job hunting so soon after starting.

I feel like people don’t take me seriously at my job given that I have a junior title. Half my job consists of chasing after people and no one bothers to answer my emails or follow up.

Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though I’m happy she’s helping, it’s such a pain in the ass to wait around.
