I’m starting a new job in October, and I’m planning to leave my current company in three weeks. I’m taking a vacation in the time between roles. Since I’m able to give more than two weeks’ notice to my boss, should I do it?

I have 3.5 YOE, I’ve been with my current company for 1.5yrs, I’m leaving for a career change so no hard feelings are involved.

No. Do the standard 2 weeks. Enjoy your vacay and return refreshed to your new gig!

Those are normal things. People come and go, so yeah. There should be no hard feelings. You have the right to be in pursuit of your own success in your chosen career.
