Thought this was interesting. Across 160 teams of researchers, just about all failed to make good life outcome predictions on things like GPA, evictions, layoffs, and others. Data followed 4.5k families across 15 years, with 13k features (varied over time). Haven't looked at it directly yet, but will be turning the docs and data inside out... In the meantime, authors claim this as showing the limits of ML. Oh, and it's published in PNAS, so you know there's some big publication energy there.

Have a blessed Easter everyone!

I would say I agree but this industry is a lot smaller than you think and you could get blacklisted. I try to burn no bridges as people I escaped from always seem to find their way back into my circle.
I gave 2 months verbal to UM and 3 weeks to the company. But I was retiring, which makes a difference, no need to worry about black listing or being let go immediately. They would still have paid me for the time and screwed themselves by not having files up to date
As an underwriter if you give 2 weeks they usually just cut you loose. They don’t want you poaching clients.
That depends. I’ve been sent home immediately but my job before mine now made me work my two weeks. I was not the best employee those two weeks.
You do you. But burning bridges is not a smart exit strategy at most companies.
No, you’re not right - you might want to stick it to the corporation or maybe even your boss, but typically you should do a solid to your team and prepare your files and give everyone a heads up on your desk. Other people move companies too, people know people at other companies and likely wherever you are going to, what is the narrative you want to be about your departure and how you treat others on a team or even a boss that you may not like? There are plenty of people in this business I do not like but I still treat them well professionally for my own reputation/brand. Also most said it above but they might just let you leave early anyway and then so that’s on the company.
Usually if you are going to a competitor they will let you go immediately. It alll depends on the position you are leaving for.
I highly recommend you give two weeks notice. Like most said above it is a small industry and it could come back around …. best of luck in the new role

I actually gave my last employer a three month notice due to a rather complicated client I didn’t want to just dump on someone without them knowing all the nuances of the account. There was one employer who I just walked out of the door with no notice at all. I found out later three other employees did same thing within two weeks of my leaving. Let’s just say the supervisor was removed from their position after that. Management didn’t listen when we said something, but apparently I started a chain reaction and they needed to stop the bleeding.
I have never given anyone a 2 week notice. If i feel i need a better option i find it and leave. I have never understood the hat particular thought process. I have had to take jobs beneath my skill level to survive and kept looking for one that does.
It depends on the company and how big the field is. Also, do you think you’ll ever want to come back to that company? If yes, then give your two weeks. If no, it doesn’t matter. I’ve burned a few bridges. In every case I was SURE I would not ever want to work for that company again.
I'm torn on this. Most of my colleagues who give notice and are going to competitors are asked to leave fairly immediately as they are viewed as being at risk of poaching clients. That being said, I do still feel it's a professional courtesy to give two weeks' notice. I don't think there's really anything wrong with not giving notice, as most companies don't give you notice when they fire you. But it could keep you in good graces of a former employer should you choose to return one day.
No, I don’t agree with that. Two weeks notice is the professional thing to do, even if the company opts to let you leave immediately for business reasons.
As others have mentioned, it’s also respectful for your peers, to leave your job in the best position possible for transferring workload (depending on the type of role you have).
