Just started on a project and am about 2 months in. The client had been vocal about turnover from our team’s side. I had just received an offer that I accepted from another company and was seeing how I should give notice.

Should I reach out to my team 4 weeks ahead of time to give them time to find a new resource to replace me? Or should I give the standard 2 weeks notice?

Also, what do you usually include in a resignation email to direct managers, pms, etc.?

Thank you!

I personally would give as much notice as possible. It's not necessary but a nice thing to do. Hopefully, there is another internal resource they can put on the project.

Good thing to do would be is to give them as much notice as possible to find a replacement, will show how you still care about the team/practice even though you maybe moving on. Leaving on good terms is never a bad thing, it’s a small world. Your paths might cross again.

I’d keep the resignation email short and sweet, thank for the opportunities during your time there, tell them that you’d be leaving and would like to make things easy for transition etc. etc.

The standard 2 weeks is more than enough time considering they wouldn’t give you that if you were being fired. I could see giving more than 2 weeks if you’re really personally invested in the project and want to complete some milestones, but up to you to determine. I personally wouldn’t worry about the company/client relationship.

I would recommend first calling your direct manager and telling them that way, instead of primarily over email. If an email is required, then keep it short and simple - This is your formal resignation and your last day will be xx/xx/xx. Don’t tell them why in the email or where you’re going. You can throw in a line saying you’ll work over this time to ensure a smooth turnover or something if you want.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
