How did you all give your 2 weeks notice? My recruiter is suggesting to just send an email to one partner of my choosing, but it seems a bit.......callous? Is that normal?

However you want. Technically giving even two weeks is only a courtesy.

How is your relationship with the partners?

Not great? Email them, then HR.

Pretty good? Email your practice head and ask to set up a call, then do the same with the partner you work with most if that person is different. Then email HR.

These are just suggestions. Good luck.

Yep just emailed the practice group chair and the head of HR. Also spoke with the partner I was closest to before those emails.

I called my office’s managing shareholder and told him I was calling to give notice and my last day would be x.

I have always done so in person

I did it in person to the partner I worked closest with and then in person to the office HR. Then by email to the partners on my other teams. Then in conversation to the associates I worked with or had a personal relationship with.

Call the senior partner in your group.

I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?
