Polite, short and sweet. Honestly - companies don’t really care for the most part

True, it’s the nature of public accounting, still a tough convo to have tho for sure!

Ask whoever you report to directly if they have a few minutes to catch up. Tell them that you are submitting your 2 weeks notice effective today. Then email HR your formal resignation. Google a resignation letter template that you can send to HR. HR will likely give you further steps to complete.

Honestly just sit down with your boss and say Hey, I want to let you know I found a great opportunity and need to put in my 2 weeks notice. I'm sorry to have to leave you guys, but it's going to be so good for my family (or whatever positive attribute of the other position).
They will probably interject with I'm sorry to hear that
I really want to make this transition go smoothly for the team. Please let me know what you will need from me. I need to get with HR to see what documentation they need from me.

I'd give 3-4 weeks, if possible. Also say very little! No airing out dirty laundry.

Interesting take, I was planning on the standard 2 weeks and was thinking they might tell me to turn my stuff in sooner. Also have heard people say you should be as blunt as possible and let them know why you’re on your way out

PSA: For single folks who live alone & have 4 legged children - a morbid but logical tip my vet shared was to buy a water dispenser bowl for your pet.

Dogs can go 5-7 days without food, but will die after 2-3 days without water

Hey fishies! Been a GVP consultant for 3.5 years now, hard work, tough “in trouble” clients, and just haven’t had the chance to work with a team long term! Been in the industry a while, current Head of DSPV and looking to jump back into FT work. Non-MD so it’s hard to find companies that will hire me even though I teach in grad school and headed for my PhD. Any thoughts? Openings?

I’ve been at my company for 10+ years. I’m not happy with the culture but have flexibility I enjoy, seniority for the time I’ve been here, and pays well. An new job opportunity came up as a Tax Manager but in a different industry which could expand my skillset in different ways, but is not as flexible and the pay is 20k lower. If I stay, I will be Director in few years. What will look better on a resume in the future, continued growth in 1 company or experience in more than 1 company?
