I tell my team 2 weeks is for receptionists. As much notice and help with a

smooth transition as possible is SUPER appreciated and makes me an advocate for your career from then on. Key team members aren’t just easily replaced in 2 weeks.

So the more you can help make a transition smooth, the more I appreciate you leaving with regard for your former team who invested in you for years.
