Taking your two weeks + giving your two weeks notice on the same day

If you were looking to lateral to another bank and got an offer and gave two weeks notice. So essentially the day you give notice will actually be your last day. haha

Will banks even allow you to do this or is it just really looked down on and you'll be burning bridges with the people you worked with at your current bank when it comes time for MBA reccommendations, connections, networking, etc.

 

You didn't word your post properly if what you're saying is take your vacation on the same day that you gave your two weeks.

your vacation request would get denied I'd imagine especially if you're trying to take vacation with no notice.

If you have your vacation scheduled ahead of time and then this new offer magically happens to fall on the same day, you would essentially be leaving your job with no notice. Which would be burning a bridge.

make it hard to spot the general by working like a soldier
 

Also pointless because you get paid out on unused vacation when you leave. And after putting in notice it's not like you will be given any real work to do anyways (unless the transition is going to be a huge pain).

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
 

If you haven't used your two weeks off couldn't you plan it out and get your vacation request approved BEFORE and then given two weeks notice which would be basically giving no notice.

The reason is if you wanted to take a 3-4 week long trip somewhere it would be handy to use your two weeks saved vacation time and add it to the time off before when the new job would start.

Dumb hypothetical is dumb.
