Is a 2 weeks notice customary in banking? quitting advice plz
Been interning in a corporate banking role at a BB for a few months now for 50k/yr...recently got an IBD analyst job that pays standard 70k+bonus also at BB--they wants me to start in a few weeks. I've been with my current firm for a few months and am involved knee-deep in a variety of projects.
Would you guys give a 2 weeks notice? Or is a week/few days better?
Also--what to say? When I signed on w current firm, I overheard my MD talking about how unprofessional it is to renege on a signed contract.... worried he may contact future employer.
Should I just say I need to go finish some classes/family emergency/etc??
Appreciate it.
Depending on the contract you signed with the first firm, it might actually say you have a longer notification requirement. For associates, at my bank, the requirement is 30 days (up to 90 days for MDs), but it doesn't mention anything for analysts. 2 weeks is standard practice in the rest of the US and seen as being polite. You don't want to burn the bridge so I would go 2 weeks.
Keep in mind that if you're still in your lockup period, then you might have to repay your sign on bonus too
Don't lie man, are you serious? Just give two weeks, plain and simple. Turnover happens.
Give them two weeks notice. They will likely want to keep you around (slight chance they don't) and you should try to leave on a good note by helping make the transition as smooth as possible and closing off as many loose ends as possible. No need to burn a bridge, you never know when you may come across your coworkers/managers again and strong references are important.
quit after only a few months? is it normal?
Seems like he's only interning at the corporate banking job. Assuming you are in the US, 2 weeks notice sounds customary in this situation. Especially at an intern level it won't be a big deal - absolutely no reason to lie.
People leave all the time for different opportunities, especially at the junior level. Just explain, thank them fr te opportunity, and put in your two weeks. Don't lie - never a good idea.
So you are currently interning but have already graduated? The new job is full time? If so, then 2 weeks is plenty.
Interning post-graduate? 2-week should be plenty. Enjoy the time before you start your IBD gig.
Just be certain as this will most likely burn a bridge.
I quit 3 months into my corporate banking role to join an analyst program at a BB. I gave two weeks notice and ended up working all two weeks. Just be straightforward with them, no bullshit about classes or whatever. That doesn't even make sense.
I would give 2 weeks, personally. I've given notice for a position before and its best to do it by the book. As they say, face your problems head on, worst case is two awkward weeks at the office.
