Received an offer from another big4, plan on taking it. Will likely be on the bench in the 3 or so weeks before my start date. Should i give a regular 2 week notice? Will i get let go ahead of that 2 weeks? Should i put a vacation request in for maybe one of those weeks, like week 1pto, submit 2 weeks notice while on said pto?

Depending on when you can start the new role , I would “use” the on bench time to your advantage .

I’d want to get paid out all of my PTO. If you think you’ll be on the bench, I would just turn down a project if they tried to put you on one. If you need to, then put your notice in a few days earlier than planned if they start to give you flack about not taking a role.

like

Request your pto first then put your last day in writing: 2 week notice with my last date being mm/dd/yyyy.

Sounds like you’re going from 1 B4 to another. They’ll likely turn everything off immediately that day and pay you out your 2 weeks.

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?

Would it be hard for me to come back to the VC industry with this experience? Why or why not? Thank you so much for your time and help!
