Hey all!
Similar question: how many weeks at a minimum do you think it makes sense to leave before starting school? I don't have a lot in the way of savings (plan to take full loan offered), so I don't want to take too much time off. On the other hand, I could certainly support myself for a month or more if need be and I do want to make sure I have enough time to take at least a week's vacation (with no packing or planning), get all of my ducks in a row and pack up and move without too much rush. I only live a few hours from Yale if that makes a difference, so I can take trips back and forth for the move.
My boss is pressing for a resignation letter ASAP so they can start the hiring process. If Yale orientation starts August 7th, around what time would you guys recommend I give for my final date? I was thinking mid-July (maybe Friday the 12th or the 19th), but wondered if that will be enough time. Thoughts?
I'm planning on moving the weekend of July 28th. I'm debating between July 12th or the week before (4th of July week) on being my last week. Sounds like we have similar plans, and honestly it seems like we're taking less time off then most. You deserve a few weeks IMO
Yeah, you guys are taking a lot less time off than most Sloan people. Although, I probably will be, too
. I'm tentatively planning to quit at the end of June (Sloan's pre-term week starts 8/19).
lb2015, to answer your question, I think quitting roughly a month before orientation is probably a reasonable amount of time if you're trying to save money.
