Need some input on this, thanks in advance.
Situation: I’ve been offered and have accepted a Big4 audit role starting on Sept. 8th. I currently work for a smaller firm. Our firms largest audit is scheduled to start in the beginning of August, and I’m on the audit. I don’t plan on giving my notice until the middle of August for two reasons. 1) the offer is still contingent on the background check (could do a separate post on that topic!) and 2) I don’t want to lose a paycheck, so I’m not taking any time off between jobs.
Obviously, my firm will need to take me off of the audit, and find a replacement. But they don’t know I’m leaving, and I don’t want them to know yet. Should I confide in the audit manager and ask her not to share my news with anyone else? Even if I do that, she is more than likely going to tell the partner on the audit and then it will just snowball from there. At the very least the partner will want to know why she is taking me off the audit…
I respect my firm and have a ton of respect for my co-workers/managers. I want to be able to given them ample time to find a replacement so they can plan the audit accordingly. But I don’t/can’t screw myself over.
Godforbid I I fail the background check and the Big4 offer is rescinded after I prematurely gave my notice…
