This may sound super junior (as I am), but I got a new job and now I have to quite my current position.
Any tips to have that talk?

Keep it short and sweet. Schedule time with your manager + HR and just let them know you’re handing in your 2 week’s notice. Have your official letter of resignation ready to email them right after your call. No need to get into why you’re leaving if you don’t want to, but try to keep it civil and professional because you never know if you’ll work with those colleagues again in the future. Good luck and congrats on your new job!

Congrats! Just quit mine too 🥳 I drafted an official resignation email to HR/CD’s that was ready to go after emailing/slacking the hiring manager saying we need to chat. Got on a quick zoom call to share the great news/thanks for the opportunity. Then sent out that mass email. Super quick and painless. This isn’t the first resignation they’ve dealt with. Good luck!

Set 1:1 time with your CDs. Let them know you’re planning to leave.

Have a letter of resignation ready to send to HR after you talk to your CDs.

Two weeks notice is normal. That is unless you’re going to an agency with a competing account (Nike vs Adidas, Microsoft vs Apple, car brands, etc.) then it’s not uncommon for the agency you’re at to let you leave sooner.

Schedule a meeting with your boss and let them know you learned a lot at the current agency but have decided to move on. Try to give two weeks notice and ask how you can help with finishing projects or transiting it to someone else. Good luck with your new gig.

It went very well. My CD were happy for me and totally understood my decision.
I’m much more relieved now

Quit to your manager or primary CD just ask to put time on their calendar. Have a formal letter of resignation ready to send to HR it can be super short (I’m quitting, my last day will be ____). 2 weeks notice is standard. Be prepared they might make a counter offer and you should know if you’d take it.

If you’re submitting anything in writing make sure to re-read for typos 🥸

I just told my team/HR today too! Congrats on the new gig. I made sure to call everyone and made sure my video was on cause I really respect our CCO and my CDs and wanted to be as personable as possible. They’ll understand, everyone changes agencies within their careers. It’s likely always for the best.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
