If your usual style is always to give notice in a job before finding another, would you stay true to your style in this current climate?

- I would actually normally give notice after I find another job. However, I do give at least a month's notice depending on how long I've been there, even if they don't require that long.
- Hello Natalie – it seems we have our names and profession in common! I have usually lined up my next job before giving notice to my current one, except where I have some savings that I could take a month or two off. This helped me twice to work on my own business. However – if you are securing a new job and then giving notice, you also have the flexibility to arrange your start date weeks ahead and give yourself a week or some days break in between – I've found that a much-needed decompression before starting a new job is magical – the excitement for what awaits builds!
- In the past I've been open with my employers and they've actually been super helpful sharing the contacts and advice on finding the next role.
- No way. I'd always find the next job before I leave my current one, even more so now. Have you considered freelance? It's a great way to explore the industry and experience lots of different styles of working / agency set up without getting trapped.
- I would say decide it by karma. Generally don't do things with your employer that you wouldn't find fair as an employee. If they treated you fair / nice at least give a voice that you are looking around for certain reasons. They maybe give you a better place in house. If they treated you bad than well... put yourself first.
- Yes I do, it’s been reassuring to check in with other peoples thoughts. Applying the slogan to broader decisions is a great help. Really appreciate your response.
- I suspect you probably know the answer to that. You only need to pay attention to how many applicants there are for upcoming jobs in LinkedIn to get the picture...Stay safe is a mantra that applies to more than social distancing
