Likely getting an offer soon - already have planned vacation starting Tuesday until the new year. Do I give notice before I get the written offer/background check so I can leave before holidays but risk offboarding during vacation or give notice my first day back? At a startup so not sure if they'd want me out asap (cash strapped) or expect me to stay 2 weeks. I dont care much about pay, more about optimizing my time before next job (burnt out)

In general I would not give notice before passing the background check and signing the offer. With this job market you never know what can happen

Gonna second this. I have two vacations, two weeks this month, one week next month, and giving birth in May
... Still switching jobs, but I let their HR know ahead of time.

No handing in notice until the new job is sealed in stone. It's up to the new place to process that quickly if they want you sooner.

Make it clear to them that you're going away and that you have a 2 week notice period that you're honouring when you're back and that you'll only hand that in once all factors are in stone.

That way even if they're slow in processing you can still give notice appropriately and the speed is up to them.

If your current company wants to waive your 2 week notice then more rest for you between jobs.

OP meet the molars of a gift horse.

For added context, current company has the full last week of December off so even if I wasn’t on vaca I can’t really offboard

Yeah I’m on board with pushing the hiring company start date later after I give notice. Gonna enjoy my vacation with no drama! No need to end the year with my current team with stress lol
