Put your 2 weeks in and help with the transition and knowledge share. It’s really straightforward and best for all parties.

Two weeks at the firm then firm can handle messaging to the client.

Burn it down and watch the flames roar.

Check firm policy for comms and standard. I gave my firm an extra month to handle client and team transition— and they decided not to tell anyone at client side or internal teams; finally on the last week I informed the client I was leaving since a disappearance would be weird and wrong, that X leader was going to be their new temporary lead and X would handle their transition to the new team, whomever that may be. Senior leadership was given all the files they could ever need on the engagements and importantly client felt comfortable I handled my part of the transition piece professionally, especially since X was the one who sold them the work. 😂
