Frequently asked questions

How much notice should I give?

Two weeks is the common standard, but follow your employment contract — some roles require a month or more.

Should I explain why I'm leaving?

No need. A brief, positive note is enough; save any detailed feedback for an exit interview if you choose to share it.
