Take a pen and paper. Draw a circle and in the circle write “people that work at PwC”. Draw a stick figure outside the circle and write your name under it. Fax to partner.

SC1 is f@cking diabolical! 😂😂😂 I’d have you on my team any day of the week!

Type up letter. Meeting on calendar. Say, “I’m resigning- my last day will be x, the formal letter will be in your inbox after this call, I’ll copy HR. Before we get into a transition plan I’d like to thank you for the opportunity, I’ve learned a lot in my time here."

I set up a call with my direct manager, explain why I’m leaving, and ask for his/her guidance on how to proceed with communications.

By setting up a call or sending an email.

- Communicate respectfully: set up time to discuss with your leader
- Provide advance notice: stay with the company for two weeks to help transition your work
- Help transition: help create the transition plan and deliver accordingly
- Leave with class: don’t trash-talk the company / your team because you’re leaving. Be respectful

It won’t be 100% perfect and they’ll always wish you stayed longer, but this is a good start.

Very unoriginal post ... but it is ok

When I resigned from my first job I drafted up my resignation letter attached it to an email and sent it to my boss asking him to “proofread something for me“

What should I do? I have an offer with 185 base,8% 401k and 10k sign on. MS reached out for tech role but I need to have full scope. I have ci poly now and I get nervous when I go on it. MS rep did say if I fail they will try to place me elsewhere but that may just be hr talk.

Should I try to sign the 185 offer and try to see if I even get offer with MS and let the poly play out or should I just not worry about it and sign the current offer? I am pretty sure the compensation from MS is great.

Is it generally unwise to switch companies within a year? I just relocated back to hometown and started a new job 6 months ago but I want to relocate again to Atlanta when my lease is up in 6 months. I don’t have much problem with my current role except wanting more money and to relocate. Unsure if it’s worth it to move and get more money or if it’ll be a bad look on my part. Any advice welcomed.
