Senior exec here, never once in my life served my full notice. I can’t imagine companies who make you do it.

Yep - keeping people to lengthy notice periods is idiotic, once you're out the door makes more sense to let you go as quickly as possible. Agree a reasonable time to handover critical work and put it in writing.

like

Yeah, had a 6 month notice (didn’t realise what I signed when I was promoted in my last company). Got it down to leas than 3 months.

I had a conversation first and agreed it verbally before putting it in writing and getting them to acknowledge also in writing.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

Folks making more than £100K: How do you deal with the 60% effective tax rate on the 100-125K bracket? (HMRC gradually reduces your £12,750 personal tax-free allowance to £0.)

This is the first time it is happening to me. With one month to go until the end of the tax year, I'm thinking of making a one-off extra pension contribution next payroll.

Any other effective strategies with only one month to go?
