How to Quit a Job the Right Way

Tell your manager before anyone else

Your manager should hear it from you directly before word spreads informally through the team.

Offer a real transition plan

Documenting your ongoing work and offering to help train a replacement leaves a strong final impression, even in your final two weeks.

Don't burn the relationship in your exit interview

Honest, constructive feedback is fine; venting is not. You may need this employer as a reference or cross paths again in your industry.
