When would you disclose that you’re leaving a legal job? I work in state government. I came here from private practice. It’s been a great experience, but not really for me, and I’m starting the process of looking for other jobs.
I would be ethically required to disclose if I were averse to a party that I’m applying to work for, but I don’t think that’s likely to arise. Because of our slow hiring processes, it can take time to retain replacements, and I’m aware that other attorneys leaving my office have disclosed their planned departure quite far in advance (A colleague of mine appears to have disclosed at the beginning of her job search and stayed on for year). To me, that seems like overkill. I don’t want to just hang around in limbo, but I’d like to avoid pissing people off too much. WWYD?
I would not disclose one minute sooner than I had to. Absent any disclosure requirements, give your two or three or whatever weeks notice once you have a job lined up.
+1 doesn’t disclose any sooner than required to.
In many cases, as soon as you tell people you are leaving, they will treat you differently, and you will feel awkward in your role, counting the days until you leave. Job searches can take a long time, and you have no real timeline to share with them anyway, unless you plan to quit without another job lined up. I would absolutely not tell anyone I was leaving until I had an offer!
Yeah I wouldn’t say anything until I had a firm offer and start date from New Job.
The NYT article about best small cities is so misleading. At least half of these are just suburbs of big cities. They fit the criteria because they’re in states where the cities don’t incorporate the suburbs into the cities, but are not legitimately small cities.
yeah, people made a lot of fun of this list online when it was first published. Calling Palo Alto and Mountain View small cities is wild. That teeny tiny Bay Area /s
