How to quit with a lateral?

Received a lateral And the furthest I could push the start date was the day after I get my bonus. How do I go about this with my current firm?

People generally give advance notice while transitioning out to help with them leaving and I would feel bad about just leaving my deal teams in the dust as I have developed relationships with them and don’t want to burn bridges.

But I don’t want my bonus to get cut and with student loans that’s a lot more important to me.

Do I just quit the day I get the wire transfer? Any suggestions on handling this? Again my new firm can’t budge on the start date they’ve already pushed it back enough.
