Is it considered a professional courtesy to talk to your partners/other team members before formally submitting your notice? The only reason I can see it making sense to do this is if you’re trying to get your current company to give you a better offer but since I’m dead set on leaving does it really matter?

It's courtesy to call and let your partner/managers know if you have a good relationship.

Don’t mention it to them unless you want a retention bonus / extra comp to stay. If you’re dead set on leaving (which sounds like you are), then don’t say anything until you’re giving notice.

Personally I think it’s up to you. Maybe it’s different in tax because people tend to be on 10-20 engagements, but I’ve had tons of friends leave the last 6+ years and almost all only told the people directly above them on their engagements after speaking to their counselor and then HR people consultant (other than telling their friends first).

Managers and senior managers tend to tell their partners soon as they talk to HR (because gossip travels fast), but if you have a good relationship with them, it wouldn’t hurt to mention it after you talk to your counselor. Heck, I have had lots of people above me on my teams who didn’t tell me (whether it be senior, manager, and SM) and I ended up finding out through the grapevine.

I do think people should tell their teams, but it can be after they put in their notice. Many of my friends who were staff or seniors only told their managers or SM because they didn’t want to deal with partner calls. For a lot of my friends, the most awkward part was when partners tried to convince them to stay after they put in their notice. Other than money, the main reason for friends quitting was the insane hours and most partners would say “don’t worry, it will get better in a few years.” They only seemed to ease up when people said they were quitting due to mental and physical health reasons.

I did call first, but you gotta be firm (unless you want them to persuade you to stay).

I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...
