As much as possible. More than 9 months notice would be weird though.

As much as possible. If you were the client or manager, how much lead time would you want? Give them that much

Any chance of you doing the go live and bouncing? It could negatively impact your performance (just speculating) don't know this fo sho.

@accenture, the go live is really 2 months after our due date so I’d rather transition out well before the go live date.

I delayed mine by six weeks to accommodate for go live. It worked out for both myself and the company.

I generally try to shoot for the end of the engagement to switch jobs. I used to give 2 weeks but since there is so much butthurt from people when you quit I give only a couple days now (this is assuming I am leaving during a project transition). I have done this several times. No issues and good feedback even though I gave only a couple days.

I prepared a presentation for an interview with a sales leader, it went well and I was offered a final interview with regional manager. The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?

So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?
