I'm currently at a BB in NYC but have an offer with an HF that starts in the summer. There's nothing in the offer letter / contract that says I have to stay in my current role until then (unlike for PE). For personal reasons, I want to resign early. How would you recommend bringing this up to the HF to check whether they're okay with it?

1) Let's say you are starting June 30. IMO, it's fair to call the HR person (or whoever your contact is) and let them know that you are planning on quitting your current job Apr 30 (or at MOST Mar 30) so that you can recharge your batteries. Most people get it 2) Once that's done, you don't want to create ill will with your current group/firm. So it's not just about what the new place thinks. Let your staffer and MD know maybe 15 days before your intended quit date... they may let you stay or they may ask you to leave immediately but at least it won't be acrimonious
