I am planning to leave my firm after busy season and I am wondering if I should let them know this is my last busy season or stay quite and just give my 2 weeks after busy season? I really like the people I work with and I think I could boomerang (read to many posts of people who boomerang and I fit the "type"). Should I tell them know or just stay silent and give my 2 weeks notice?

Stay quiet.

Yep keep that to yourself. You'll have a really different perspective of everything and everyone in your last busy season. It'll probably be a relief to emotionally detach as you go through the motions, get paid, realize how it's just a job, and secretly know that all the indignities and other annoyances you can't stand, soon won't matter anymore.

I gave notice way too early and would strongly recommend staying quiet. And then DM me if you want an exit opportunity with the Siegfried group 🙃

Damn, so I’m guessing they were hired in as associate manager? Yeah I’m familiar with the 5 yr comp. That’s a great base salary though!

Stay quiet. If you tell them, you will feel different treatment whether people intend to or not. You won’t be one of them anymore

Quiet for sure

Don’t do it! You’ll be treated differently. I did that and told the partner, worst mistake ever. I’d actually advise you to quit before or beginning of busy season!

I gave notice a few months early (it was a unique situation cause I was leaving for the same company in another country - different legal entity so technically I was resigning locally). Anyway, they put me on a 6/30 busy season right after getting out of 12/31 YE busy seasons. Doing things out of the kindness of your heart is NOT rewarded in PA.

Stay quiet. I left audit for FAAS so internal transfer and thought I was being nice by giving them notice way ahead (3.5 months). They took complete advantage of me and worked me like a slave trying to squeeze every last drop they possibly can.

Don’t say anything. When you find another job, you give them the required notice (2 weeks for most people) - no more - no less.
