Should I put my notice in once I have an offer in hand or once I’ve signed and accepted?

Between those two options, once you’ve signed and accepted. However if the new company does a background check, the correct answer is after the background check has cleared.

Second that.

Always after the background check. They could change their mind or rescind the offer. While you are understandably excited, make sure all ducks are in a row before you give notice. In addition, tell the new job you can start in 3 weeks after the background check comes back clean. Give the current job 2 weeks. Have 1 week between the two for yourself.

Except how many companies that do drug test will often require you to take it within a week of your start date. You can’t really find a way out of that.

Not until (1) it has been signed and accepted by you; (2) yoy have confirmation from the employer ir receuiter that the background check has been completed; and formal final offer letter aigndd by you.

Second that

Do it after working at the new place for a couple weeks. That way you can get another paycheck or two at the old spot.

I want to join a start up in my industry but I need to rescind a job acceptance from a more establish company. I resigned from my old job and didn’t start the new job yet. Is the non compete I signed, as part of the job offer acceptance for the position with the bigger company, enforceable if I rescind my job acceptance before I actually start a new job? I don’t think it is. I didn’t receive a sign on bonus so no additional consideration was exchanged from my understanding of my law classes.

Couldn’t agree more - consistency is king 💪💪
