was planning on giving notice tomorrow but the two main partners I work with are traveling/out of office. I guess I could call them but don’t want to bother them obviously when they’re traveling — what’s the best way to do this? I was thinking of putting in formal notice with HR tomorrow and then coming in next week to catch up with the partners when they’re back in office?

You could just give notice on Monday instead of Friday. It’s really not that different and people understand you would only work through the next Friday anyway

Just put time on in their calendar and call them.

Unless you hate the partners and the other folks on the team, I’d probably tell them today so that they have time to find replacement folks for your matters. Most likely the partners are still working even tho they’re traveling. And this way you can end on a Friday after hitting your full 2 weeks.

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense.

Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart
