Leaving firm for rival firm. How should I put in my notice?

1. If I put in my notice and say I'm going to a rival firm, I will likely be let go on the spot and not paid out for the holidays.
2. If I put in my notice without saying where I'm going, they will likely work me up until the holidays (no pay for holidays).
3. Or I just wait until the end of the holiday break and do option 1 and get the holiday payout?

At this point I already feel like I'm burning bridges by leaving in mid-December.

Jan 4 put in notice. And for now, stop trying so hard. Slowly dip out. Help people you can, but otherwise, hang back and don’t work an hour over 40

Even if option 1 they'll still pay you for two weeks. If you aren't starting until January put in your two weeks on Monday. If you don't want to work this week put it in tomorrow. Team will adjust.

Author, if you put in the two weeks notice they will pay you for those two weeks even if they push you out early.

Are you in audit?

I don’t understand option 2: what do you mean work you up? We have 1.5 weeks of shutdown soon.

I knew someone who left for a rival firm this time of year once. They put in their notice the Friday before Christmas, didn’t disclose where they were going, and their last day was the first Monday back after New Years.

You know the saying.. past performance doesn't mean future performance.

They could easily decide to boot this time around.

I would personally give notice in January

To not burn bridges, give them as much notice as possible.

Your direct colleagues might not like that, it might even annoy a partner, but payout isn't done by the partner and finance has more important stuff to do than worry about the grudge of 1 partner..

Hello fishes 🐠🐋🐟,

Please help me out here.... Your input will be really great.

I have herd that currently most of the companies are in hiring freeze. (Holiday season, recession or layoffs).

I am trying to apply job for many companies since last month, and i haven't got any response from any of them.

Are there any Organizations still out there who are hiring/open for referral and are in position to handle recession.

Please comment your thoughts. It might make someone's day.

Thanks.

Quitting before finalizing offers?

I’m at post onsite and negotiation stage at a couple places but it may take another month or 2 due to either hiring freezes or general slow processes.

I want to quit now to go on vacations that I held off during prep. Does it make much difference when I negotiate offers? Like if my upcoming unvested RSU would be (partially) matched, and they find out I quit somehow, is it no longer matched? Other potential snags?
