How Do I Quit?
Current 1st year here. How do I even go about quitting? Do I just tell my staffer? Curious who I'm even supposed to give official notice to

Career Resources
1) have a discussion with your boss
2) look up the process on the HR portal
3) if 2) doesn't exist, contact HR and file a standard resignation letter to give notice (ie 2 weeks)
In a very similar situation
I was a 2nd year and gave notice recently. I emailed my group head and said I had some news to share and to call me when he had a minute. He called and I told him I’m leaving the firm and giving my 2 weeks. In my case I was leaving for another IB role so we discussed that given it’s a competitor I would be terminated immediately. He followed up for my personal email as my work email got cutoff so HR/compliance could tie up loose ends on their part
Edit: If you’re a 1st year and don’t have a report with your group head, then probably fine to go to the staffer. At the end of the day, they will forgot pretty quickly that you were ever even there
Sorry to hijack, but how did lateral market seem? Guessing it will get even better in coming weeks, months.
To OP: I agree with above, tell your staffer.
I thought it was good. I’ve been looking to lateral since early 2020 and I thought it was the best the lateral market had been since I started looking and assuming it will only get better like you said. Lots of groups looking for experienced juniors given what dealflow looks like for 2021
If leaving for another bank, did they shut you guys off before you could send your fairwell email or anything? Gonna have my cue’d up but curious how others have handled
Plan to be thrown out ASAP.
