I’d also planned on giving them a month’s notice as a courtesy to my coworkers. I work at a consultancy and am managing six fairly complex accounts that will take time to properly transition to another engineering manager. I will no longer be doing that. Two weeks is all they get.

Moral of the story: your company doesn’t care about you. Even if you like your colleagues/managers (and I do!), they’re not actually invested in you as a person or your financial/professional well-being.
