I just had an interview for a fantastic position with excellent benefits and base pay. It seemed to go really well, and the interviewer even hinted that I got the job, mentioning training start dates and asking about my notice period for my current role. Should I wait for an official offer via email or phone before resigning from my current job, or should I give my current employer my two weeks' notice as soon as possible?

Never put your two weeks in without an offer in hand. I've seen way too many horror stories about people quitting for a new job only to wind up with neither. Please, please, please wait until the paperwork is finalized.

Never assume anything, you don’t have the job until you have a signed offer, period

I agree with the others. Absolutely wait for the official offer in writing, whether that's an email or a formal letter. Until you have something concrete, things can and often do fall through. You don't want to burn bridges at your current job.

Wait for things to be official. Even with the best of intentions, there is NO telling what can happen. Congrats on everything going well, though. That is something to be happy about.

Hi all. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2 and it’s been hard to heal with the ups and downs of a very competitive sales position in the current market. Before taking FMLA for 12 weeks I was a top performer. Any advice from those that also live with bipolar disorder, or advice on a potentially a less stressful position to ease out of sales? I have 7 years healthcare sales and 1.5 years as a MLO.

Hello!

I joined Accenture 5 months back as a lateral hire ( Level 11 ) and have been a part of a project since day one.

I am not enjoying my work here, no motivation at all. Dreaded to report to work and having stress and anxiety. My manager is trying to micromanage me as productivity is on the lower side.

Another thing is, I have started to dislike my current tech and no more interested in it.
What are my options here ?
Is project release possible ?
or I have to put down papers ?

Would I be stupid not to take the Deloitte offer on the table despite already signing with KPMG?

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
