Hey Savages,
So, I'm switching horses as a BDR currently. For anyone that saw my last post, I'm going with Company #1.
However, I'm sort of unclear as to how to proceed with respect to providing resignation notices. Bear in mind, this is my first role postgrad in Sales, with my previous non-internship role being a Starbucks Barista. In that role I gave two weeks, which seems to be a universal standard.
For context, I am not on salary (paid hourly) and receive no benefits. I have friends at the company that will vouch/provide recommendations for me regardless of whether I give notice. Either way, my boss is going to be pissed that I'm leaving, and is "catty" to say the least. I cannot state this strongly enough, the DO NOT want me leaving. The act of quitting in general negates the possibility of getting a reference, as I'm effectively leaving a frat.
However, I'm smart enough to know that I don't know everything, and that there may be a "shark beneath the pool blanket" if I outright quit. If y'all think this is going to screw me over down the line, please elaborate.
Is it good practice? No. But I do not want to get suckered into 2 weeks of odd jobs and CRM cleanup that I likely won't end up getting paid for when I could be getting prepped for a new position or provide an earlier start date.
There's red flags everywhere, and quite frankly I'm sick of this shit. I know it's pretty much certain that the company will do me no favors once I leave, and I want to move on ASAP.
Everyone, tell me what you'd do if you were in my shoes.
