They won’t so hush.
Was in a similar position and did t say anything. I got the sense that the firm wasn’t crazy about it when I told them but by that point I realized that I didn’t want to return. May be in this position again with a COA clerkship and plan on giving the new firm 2 months notice
If you don’t want to return, have a good relationship, are less than a year out, and already received your bonus, I would tell them.
That’s what I did.
If you are not fully committed to them, they will be uncomfortable at the thought of losing you.
But aside from that, the benefit is that they will wind down your work, making your life very cushy in the process.
However, if you don’t like them, don’t care about returning AT ALL, and want to keep your cases for as long as possible, I’d give them a month’s notice - maybe 2 weeks (but that’d be a major F U to them).
