Honestly depends on your situation. It’s only as bad as the situation makes it. If you’re unassigned nobody will give a f. If you are the signing partner on an IPO that’s filing next week, the firm will probably sue you. Most people will be somewhere in between. Ultimately you gotta do what’s best for you.

Why wouldn’t you give a two week notice? It’s better to leave on good terms

In such an incredibly 'small world' you should be professional and give the two weeks. Then it's up to your firm whether they keep you or just let you go straight away. But you'll have done the right thing. You don't want to risk burning any bridges. It's crazy how often I bump into folks later on at different clients/firms etc.

Two weeks is professional courtesy. If you don’t give it it’s considered rude in the professional world. It’s really not worth the risk frankly

No, it’s not really bad but if you’re in a position you can, you should, just out of curiosity and to do one last dance that’s expected of you.

Everyone was giving shit (SM said he was making a bad move and so on) to guy who left even with a two week notice... on top of the added pressure to do everything before you leave. If you’re already checked out, I think it’s not nearly as bad. BUT then again, some day, that SM can end up in industry as your boss.

Do Big 4 pay superannuation above the ‘max contribution base’?

For those who don’t know what this is, employers are only required to pay super on income up to around $230K (so $23K super max). Some companies may choose to pay above and beyond that.

Trying to work out the split between base and super on a contract. It is unclear in the documentation.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
