One of my senior managers never acknowledged that I put my notice in and never said another word to me again during my whole notice period... I thought it was super unprofessional and rude. Do you?

Yeah he’s a sorry big 4 accounting soul. Strongly disagree with everyone who says it’s bad to quit just before or during busy season. I just quit to go into an analyst role at a PE shop and my partner and SM/directors all seemed genuinely impressed and happy with me. They recognized the good opportunity for me rather then thinking about themselves.

You quit - we don’t give a F about you any more unless we think you’ll be useful down the road - what did you want? A big Party and tears? You know how many people someone has seen quit in our tenure? Also you are just an associate - check yourself

When I left PwC, all the Directors and Partners acted VERY unprofessionally. After my formal resignation, none of them acknowledged or spoke to me. Completely ignored me for 1.5 week. Then, a 1 hour transition meeting. That was it.

Everyone was waiting for the manager to setup a goodbye lunch which he never did. My colleagues decided to take me out to lunch which my manager (MD) refused to go. We went to lunch and never returned to the office. So, after 5 years, no goodbye, no thank you, no good luck, no handshake. That was how Big 4 management is like. Everyone is just commodity, they come, they go.

I agree with RSM1, you are dead to me. It was super unprofessional of you to quit this close to busy season.

like

Lol you check yourself SM1. I work on a very small team where only one person has quit in 8 years so maybe you shouldn’t assume everyone with the same title as you has walked the same path because you are completely off the mark. Douchebag.

You quit during busy season. You probably totally screwed them over. Not saying I don’t blame you - you have to do what’s best for you - but I don’t blame your SM either. They’re probably pissed. Im in this position too (someone quit this week) It sucks!

It’s not busy season for us. Our busy season ended at year end and I was considerate enough to wait it out!

Advisory is very different from audit as you’re constantly bouncing around to different projects with different leadership. There’s a chance your SM didn’t even know you put your notice in

like

Yes

If you expect SM to check their feelings at the door, I recommend that you do the same.

like

Well did you sit down with the SM before putting in your notice to tell him/her that you were going to? Kind of shitty of you to quit without telling first.

like

^^^This. You want acknowledgement from someone that you sent notice to on a small team at that and didn’t have the decency to have a conversation. Go figure.

BT1 I intended to, but the partner conferenced called the team (all managers except for me) immediately after giving notice. Some other details I’ll leave out but, yeah I would 100% expect management to acknowledge an employee that leaves. I had random people in the office come by and wish me good luck or say hey it was nice working with you take care. I don’t care in the least on a personal level but was really surprised that manager would act in what I consider a really unprofessional manner. It’s not about me or my feelings more so about this person’s character.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
