> Whatever is the minimum notice period you have to give your current job (eg. 2 weeks), the countdown starts after you get the real signed offer from the future job. At least in the US, I know of no requirement for 2 weeks notice, anywhere. It's just considered polite. > If they want that loyalty, they need to first sign the papers that makes you an official part of their team. Again in the US, I know of no papers that I've ever had from a company that guaranteed anything important. You might end up with something guaranteeing moving expenses or something, but they can still fire you on day 1, if you even make it that far.
