How do I leave? Who do I tell first and how to tell them? What do I need to put in a resignation letter? How much time is optimal time to resign or is 2 weeks standard fine?

Leaving KPMG for industry and obvi there's no instructions on how to resign so any suggestions and tips from anyone who has resigned (recently in the remote environment) is helpful.

Currently the lead on one of our office's largest grossing clients so expecting a lot of backlash possibly.

Open to resignation stories too

First thing to do is schedule a call with the partner. Then SM.
“I accepted an offer with XYZ. my last day is 123”
From there I just put my resignation letter in the system and then it will prompt you instructions for last day

Okay perfect! Very useful to know how or whom to start the conversation/transition. Thank you!!

2 weeks is standard, if they need more than that it’s their fault for being understaffed.

I want to limit my post resignation awkwardness as much as possible so good to hear that if I just give them 2 weeks, that I can just do that and I'm not in the wrong. I have a month before I start so going to play around with my timing here.

Give your two weeks & Stick to your two weeks.

Don’t give them your actual start date at the new gig or you’ll get a lot of senior partners pressuring you to stay up until then.

If they ask, you start the Monday after your two weeks, and it can’t be moved.

Reach out first to whoever your primary sponsor is, could be your coach, could be your relationship leader or another partner, whoever you’ve been closest with at the firm (manager or higher) they’ll ask who you’ve told, and then guide you on who to talk to next.

Also be prepared if you’re leaving for a role that will likely be there after busy season for a moderate paybump (random back office role at a F500) you’ll receive some unprofessional comments from senior leadership. Let it roll off your back. You also don’t have to tell them where you’re going at all, you can be vague.

Thank you so much for the extended explanation! It just helps with nerves of leaving and knowing that there will be backlash.

My main reason for leaving is because I've become an unhealthy reflection of myself in personality and character. That is the main reason. Yeah, getting a pay bump and a position/title bump is great, but I hate that I am venomous to my S/O and am not present when around my parents because my head is with work.

I'm removing myself from a situation that is not at fault, because at the end of the day, I control my actions and attitude, but I feel myself slipping at all fronts and it's affecting my output. I see this as doing myself and them, a favor.

Do I even have to inform them of where I'm going as long as it's not a competing PA firm?
