BB IB to Buy-Side -> When to resign?

Hi all,

I am an analyst in a BB IB who has just accepted a Buy-side role and want to hear your opinions regarding logistics. My specific doubts are: (1) Is it ok to announce my resignation after the bonus number is announced but before it hits my account? Given that it is a BB, I am thinking that once the number has been cleared with HR, Group Head, etc. and has been communicated to me, they would not modify it following my resignation; (2) Should I offer to continue "working" for a 1/2 weeks? (Perhaps better to let them decide?)

What are your thoughts? Also, if you have any recommendations on how to handle the resignation, etc., feel free to add!

Thanks
