How does the H1B grace period work? Getting an MBA so quitting soon and want to stay in the US before going home for F1 interview. Are there any issues with this plan? Anything I need to know?

I think you get the 60 day h1b “grace period” ONLY IF you are laid off or fired (not if you voluntarily quit). You may speak with your company HR to see if they will be willing to lay you off instead of you resigning.

Actually, I’m in the same boat (as in I’m quitting) and I’m on L1B, I had to reach out to my visa and immigration consultant today to get clarity on this. The answer is 60 days for voluntary and involuntary termination, however for future opportunities for visa or immigration, the firm recommends we wrap up as soon as possible and leave the country.
