I know 2 week notice is by far the most common, but has anyone given 3 week notice before? Basically looking to give notice as soon as bonus hits but try to snag an extra week of pay by delaying my last day of week. Alternative is to just drop notice a week later, but would rather drop sooner so that I can stop working

Take a week vacation and then give two weeks’ notice. Baddaboom baddabing.

Disagree with teacher 1. In your situation, I would just give 3 weeks notice. But, if at a firm that does recognize vacation, take all your vacation and then give notice. It is part of your compensation. I’ve been at 3 firms and people did it all the time at each of them.

I gave 4 weeks notice when I was leaving for the government at my first firm and it was totally fine. People here think you’re going to get perp walked as soon as you give notice and maybe at their firms they do but I’ve never seen it in 13 years of practice.

If you give 3 week’s notice, wouldnt you be working for three weeks anyway after you give notice unless you take a vacation?

Technically yes, but practically at my firm, teams usually drop you pretty quickly and you only really do a minimal amount to help transition matter. But no one’s going to ask you to substantively handle anything. That’s why it’s ideal for me

I gave like 3.5 week notice (end of month) so I could get my referral bonus lol. It was a bit awkward towards the end but it was fine

I have a month bc I was leaving on good terms / needed time to really hand off. That’s where I’d say more time makes sense - from your current firm’s description, doesn’t quite seem like they’d be too amenable to an extra week twiddling thumbs (so would just delay notice).

I gave 3 weeks notice, last day to be the last day of the month. It was fine

My plan is to give 6-8 weeks notice. They’re not gonna let me go beforehand because they need me for a deal I’m running, but I also won’t be staffed on new matters so it’ll be a win-win.
