It's Not You, It's Me...

Is there ever a good way to resign from a Firm? I've been working in the industry for quite a while now and managed to always part on good terms; just wanted to hear some other fellow WSO compatriots' stories, good or bad, feel free to share?

Asset Management Mock Interview

“Today’s session was amazing and incredibly useful. My mentor was a massive help with both networking and interview preparation, particularly for my ongoing HSBC programme application. He helped me understand how to approach networking more effectively and gave me valuable advice on preparing for the next stage of the recruitment process. I really appreciate the time and effort he puts into helping me, and I left the session feeling more confident and clear about my next steps. As always, he was very kind, approachable and easy to speak with, which made the whole experience even better.”

Asset Management Mock Interview

“This mentor provided valuable and constructive feedback that helped me better understand how to approach interviews and identify areas for improvement. I learned how to structure my responses more effectively, communicate my strengths with greater confidence, and stop downplaying my experiences and accomplishments. The session also helped me recognize which technical topics and industry-specific questions I need to research further, allowing me to prepare more strategically for future interviews.”

Never gave a reason. Trust me, they won't stay up at night thinking of an excuse when they lay you off. Give notice, say it was your time to go and leave it at that.
