I want to quit and give myself a couple months to find a new job and enjoy my life. Someone told me I need to approach my reason for leaving sensitively as I don't want to ruin my connections and references. Any tips?
How do I put in my notice with no new job offer without coming out and saying "this place no longer fulfills me and I want to be able to breath for a couple months when I search for something new" ?

You don't owe anyone any explanation as to why you're leaving. But if you want to give one, just say you're leaving to pursue new opportunities, and add that you may take some time to reevaluate and work on yourself before committing to your next role. But again, you don't owe anyone any explanation outside of "two weeks from ___ will be my last day."

Giving more than two weeks notice so they can replace you is a way to build good will. I once gave six weeks notice. I didn’t love sticking around all that time but I wanted to be generous to my employer and not leave them stuck with no one to do my work.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
