I would wait until it's about 1 month away. A month's notice is sufficient & just in case you change your mind...you will not have let the cat out the bag yet. Eight months is incredibly long.

Ya I would wait- a lot can change in 8 months. You can basically grow a baby in that time.

... leadership and their vision from my team are not aligned with my career goals. I need to tell my manager I am quitting. I want nice ways to approach this conversation and leave on good note

8 months is a pretty large window to announce a departure. Do you already have a job lined up or plan to start looking for a new role to leave around then? I think it's better for you to wait until you have an offer. Having an early conversation with someone in your team can change the relationship and make the remaining time difficult.

Your manager has been supportive so far, they likely already know you don't see things in the same light.

Get a coffee with them and talk through it.

How did you get a job eight months advance though?!?!?! That's the perfect pre promo cycle set up in case you don't get the bump to the next level

Sorry fellow fishes. Miscommunication from my end. I left consulting 8 months ago to join my current industry position. I found a much better opportunity now. Trying to switch jobs. Speaking with my manager today. Need advice on approaching this conversation. Giving them 2 weeks notice

Recent exp hire in consulting and would love some input. Pre hire was promised by leadership that the firm was doing lots of interesting strategy work in a niche, cutting edge but rapidly growing field.

Am I being paranoid? Is this common?
