When leaving, it's important to finish all projects and give two weeks' notice to ensure the transition for your employer will be as smooth as possible. Working hard until the last minutes of your tenure assures that you gave it all every day on the job while also showing an appreciation for their loyalty towards yourself.

Find out what needs to be done before you go and ensure those tasks are finished accurately with plenty of lead time before your exit - allowing them extra time to handle any disruption caused by the departure.

Being thorough in completing all necessary tasks can alleviate any worries of having left them hanging when you’ve gone, ultimately providing peace of mind as you try something new.
