Looking for advice- On a one deep project with a Managing Director as top cover one day per week. Project ends end of April. I accepted a role with a new company and plan on 30 March being my last day. Should I just give my 2 weeks and bounce, or should I give extra notice so they can find someone to replace me? Staying on longer than April 1 is not an option

2 weeks. You don’t own the MD jack and if the roles were reversed she’d probably screw you.

Look out for you and your career. That’s all that matters.

10/10 advice, I second this

2 weeks.

You can be grateful for the experience but it’s then time to move on. The truth is - nobody will remember or care about the extra effort you put in - it gives you nothing.

smart

Notice and bounce - everybody (including organizations) look for their best interest. Be communicative and helpful to find a replacement of course

Don’t burn a bridge if you can help it. Accenture has probably been good to you at some point, this could be a time to return the favor. Think about the person who would be taking over your role.

Give your MD a heads up at the end of this month, should be plenty of lead time.

I would give 2 weeks notice - but tell them your last day is March 15. That way, if they ask you to extend, you can be nice and do it if you’re willing to ease the person transitioning your work in, and leave like you planned at the end of the month. If they don’t ask, you’ll get a break in between.

2 weeks in enough time to find someone and train them to take on your role. Really, everyone is replaceable, that's how consulting works

Folks suggesting 2 weeks... genuine question.. what’s the harm in giving more than 2 weeks? My team sometimes has shared with me when they started looking or most of the times have shared more than two weeks out. Curious to get the perspective.
