In April, I accepted an offer to work at a speciality finance company. I agreed to work one day a week immediately and come on full time after graduation. I ended up landing a corporate banking gig at a BB last week, which I'm really excited about. As sweet as that is, I'm not looking forward to reneging / quitting the first job, especially because I was planned to start FT in less than a month. I'm on unsure how to proceed.
Should I do it face to face or over the phone? Face to face seems like the right thing to do. On the other hand, I know my boss plans work for me to do ahead of each day I come in, and I don't want to have him to waste his time on that when I could just give him a call the moment my background check clears with the BB. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi Morty Jones, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
I would give a phone call but instead of simply informing them, you really need to give a lengthy explanation of your story and why you are making this decision. Perhaps say something about how a friend referred you to this new position and you feel a responsibility to accept.
Providing you don't have a month's notice period, I see nothing wrong with coming in on your next scheduled day, working the full session, and blocking some time into your boss' schedule for the end of the day in order to chat. That way, you don't disrupt your boss' schedule and can sign off with most of your word completed.
Alternatively, if you think will be difficult to get time in your boss' diary, give him a call and tell him you won't be able to work your next scheduled day, however you would appreciate a quick chat with him that morning.
All said and done, I'm sure he'll understand. I myself recently resigned in order to change firms and was taken aback by how civil everyone was. I'm sure you'll be surprised by how sympathetic your boss is. As long as you're honest and polite, don't leave anyone over exposed, and don't badmouth the firm you're leaving, you'll be fine.
