I signed an offer today at another firm (woohoo) going from a large consulting firm to a industry specific M&A firm. Start date is after Labor Day. Not sure now when to put my two weeks notice in. 170 hours of PTO to use or cash out, but I’m in the middle of a project so can’t necessarily just take it. If you were in my shoes, when would you give your two weeks?

This might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I left during the middle of a big project at my old job, and I have no regrets. They’re always going to be able to find someone who can help with the project and you can still end on good terms as long as you word it well. Try and get a month (or longer) between your jobs!

Put in notice now. Take the summer off using your pto and travel. This is the best time you will have.

Congrats! I might be in the minority but I’ve seen so many offers rescinded. I would give two weeks and use pto throughout the summer.

Take the PTO after your project ends then two weeks notice right after PTO ends?

Ideally, I’d do that. But I’m in the current role on this project until December :/

Using the PTO makes no sense. If money is not a concern, I’d personally put in my two weeks mid July, last day the first week in August, and have a month off between jobs.

😭😭😭…take me bro.

Congratulations!! What did you end up doing and if you can please elaborate on how you got a start date 3 months out? Looking to do same

Hi Fishes, I need your advice!

I joined CG 6 months back and was on training for 3-4 months for Dynamics CRM, completing multiple MS certifications. Post that I was mapped to an account for the project & was under shadow.

After shadow completed it seems like there's no project openings in the account for which I was selected. And now management wants me to go for other certs.

Please help me know whom can I approach & ask for project openings/tagging. I'm worried as it's already been 6 months!
