Two weeks notice isn’t always a rule

Usually, when we think about quitting a job, we also think that means giving two weeks notice but, do you have to do that?

Not always! You should absolutely look into your country’s laws, and your contract, but often it’s actually just an expectation and professional courtesy vs a true rule. Now, if you had a good relationship with your company and/or if you’d like them as a future reference, then you might want to go ahead and stick with the two weeks. But, if something comes up, or you don’t feel so inclined, you could probably leave sooner.

When we left our last jobs, we actually gave a full months notice, to make the transition process easier for the company. We weren’t in a rush with our new role, so we had that flexibility. So, it can go both ways!
