I avoid telling my employer where I'm going when I leave. There's simply no advantage to me to reveal that information. You can just say your quiting to take some personal time and deal with burnout. Perhaps that personal time is a 2 day weekend before your next job begins.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 5y agoYou don’t even need to say that. My three lines I’ve used for every job are: The resignation letter simply reads: “Effective today’s date I hereby notify my employer of my intent to resign my position of position on date two weeks from today”. Signed and dated with nothing else. If asked why, the answer is “I’ve decided to seek opportunities elsewhere”. If asked where, the answer is “I’d rather not say at this time”. As you say, there’s almost no benefits and only drawbacks to divulging any other information than that in most cases.
