When is the right time to resign when jumping to a competitor? Before signing the offer letter, the day the offer letter is signed, or once the background check is cleared and my employment is confirmed at the new firm?

If you have a sketchy past, wait til after the background check. If you don’t have a sketchy past wait til the company accepts your offer letter.

Thanks. Minorly concerned because my employment data for a college job didn’t migrate to the university’s new payroll provider

If you have thoughts of possibly staying at your existing firm if they match the offer I would talk to them BEFORE accepting the offer but AFTER receiving the written offer. That way if your existing firm gives you an offer to stay that you like you won’t be in a position to then renege on the accepted offer. Always make sure you have an offer in writing though.

I would wait till confirmed. If going to another big 4 and HR finds out, most likely you’ll need to do offboarding the same day. Have seen this happen to other ppl in my group going to competitor who thought they’d be able to stay the 2 weeks.

Same.. seen this as well, if you give notice going to another big 4 they show you the door the next day, but I think based on your level they may still/may still have to pay you for the two weeks

After? What are you nuts?

After. Unless the firm said background checks are minor (doesn't look at much detail) and time off between roles is important to you

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Any recommendations (or watch outs) for au pair agencies? CT/NY area if it matters. TIA!

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up).

I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...
