I think it would be decent of you to give them time to hire and you train the new guy. If you're going to a competitor though, you may be let go immediately.

I would wait, the new job could still fall through.

It isn't "professional" to give your team the courtesy of having more time to replace you, because it's their fault for having such a thin operating model that something could happen to you and they would lose their only accountant. In this economy, especially with layoffs in the air, I'd wait until 2 weeks before start date to give your two weeks'.

Happy wife happy life is a really toxic saying. I’m just shocked how this has become the standard saying for men in relationships. I have friends of mine saying this all the time, and I have just thought it’s so cringe and always want to say my thoughts on it but always decide to hold back. However, imagine the saying reversed - happy husband happy life - that would lead to all kinds of uproar. To me happy wife happy life means I need to sacrifice my wants and needs to make my wife happy.
