I received a verbal offer last week. I'm supposed to start my new job on May 6th. I was going to submit my resignation letter tomorrow, but I haven't gotten my new job offer in writing yet. Is it better to wait to put my resignation in now or wait until I have the written letter? My last day at this job is getting pretty close.

Tell them how much time you need once you receive and sign the offer. If they’re delayed in providing it the start date should move back.

If you need to give notice at current place, be clear with the new one. But do not do anything until you have a written offer and are 100% is legit. I’ve seen here this situations happening more and more.

There are many reasons why people in the working world are not direct when speaking. They are one of the following:

* They pretend they are experts
* They are inexperienced
* They are full of themselves
* They don't know what they are looking for
* They love to talk

Even if these people have good intentions, be careful of them. Your time is valuable, and the best thing for you to do is to be direct back at them.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
