Starting a new job at a Big 4 on 1/13. Don’t want to burn any bridges at my current firm but giving them two weeks notice would be during my holiday PTO. Should I ask to move my start date back, give less than two weeks notice, or give notice during my PTO and risk not being paid out during my planned vacation (we have unlimited PTO)?

You put your notice in on 1/2/25. If they don't like it, well you have extra PTO vacation. Don't change your start date with the new Firm. Two weeks is a courtesy, not a requirement.

Put your notice 1/10 at 4:49pm

Appreciate the attention to detail with the Friday 1/10 date

2 weeks is a courtesy. You’d get less if they were moving on from you. Give the notice that you can and be gone

Well, they usually continue to pay you after moving on, so not exactly true. You work with people, not just a firm. I’ve always thought that if you treat people well, things work out for you personally…
