Earliest you can quit before joining new PE firm
Signed on-cycle last year to join a UMM this summer and was wondering what is the earliest it’s acceptable to quit? Offer letter said the expected start date was around August 15th

ooooh I recognize that start date. Get ready to get rocked
So I’m hearing quit right now?
I mean maybe there are other UMMs with an August 15th start date but if it was the one I was at then I'd bail if I could find any other MM-MF job depending on how bad you care about the H/S placement
June is probs fine
Is it a bad look if you were to leave your job towards the end of March for an August start date?
Would love to do this too
Think March is leaning towards unacceptably early.. most people do May/June
Can you please explain why it is such a bad look / why it is looked down upon? I don't understand how that plays a factor with your new PE job.
Curious as well
People at bank would get bonuses in march and quit in may before 2021
I changed my mind I think you should quit and enjoy the spring / summer. Pretty much the last chance you’ll have to live carefree until you do an MBA or effectively retire.
