It is never a good idea to tell them you are looking for a job before you have an offer...

Was my thinking, just felt I should give them some time to source a replacement as well.

They will have your 30 day notice period to do that. Do NOT tell them you are looking, only resign when you have a firm offer.

That is what the notice period is for.

You must also remember, depending on your profession and specialization, it could take a while to find a job that you would actually want...

give them notice only ONCE you have a fully SIGNED contract.
No verbal promises....

Their issue, not yours. That's precisely why you have notice period for resignations. If the period isn't enough, then their fault.

Wow deleting your question when the community invested effort to answer it is really selfish.

The quotes still contain enough info, in fact, without context it probably looks even worse?

Then why on earth would you post a question of that nature?

At least you could have used another account.

Or ask for a "friend"....

In hindsight probably the better idea, have made a right mess of this thread...

Thanks for the guys that did assist and apologies for the way I butchered the thread there after.

OP wants to quit job, but their current company relies on them as they're probably a key asset(senior).

OP's company may face momentary losses due to his resignation.
OP feels bad, and wants to perform a good will gesture and notify them sooner than lawfully needed.

How far off am I from the original post?

Question answered thanks.

With nearly 1300 posts, I would think you'd have more etiquette than this.
What if another forumite has the same question?
