So a little update on my situation bros..
I accepted the other job offer (more $ and design position which I wanted all along)
My start date is next monday but I have yet to notify the recruiter(who I am working for, not the company) but I'm just trying to make sure everything is good on the other end before I cut ties. I know it's kind of cutting it close, but the recruiter said I should at least give 5 days notice if I decide to leave, if not then it wouldn't be to big of a deal. My questions for you guys are:
1) How do I "quit" in a professional manner( I plan on being upfront with the recruiter and the managers at work)
2) Am I good to go with the other company? I have a start date, they sent me i-9 form but didn't say anything about drug or background test.
Congrats! .... You have to tender your resignation in writing as just a verbal 'dueces' leaves you exposed in some ways. It doesn't have to be verbose and should include your last day at the recruiters. I tend to start with an acknowledgment of the opportunity inherently in the position I'm leaving :
X company has been great company to work for and over my X amount of years I grown immensely professionally. Despite an enriching professional environment at this time I must tender my resignation effective X date.
Because X has been a great company to work for I am fully committed to making mysel available to any close out process and working with X to off board any projects currently open within my portfolio.
EDIT: things you want to talk about during the exit interview process or rather with your manager - any work product you get to keep, if you can have a standard written recomendation, who the should any notified in the future for work confirmation.
