I've done this, and it's always worked out well for me. My past three jobs received a 1 month notice. The one before that, I told the hiring manager up front that I'd work for them for exactly 1 year.
Most of the comments here are against this, many saying they were prematurely removed, some immediately. Perhaps it is different for FAANG and other SV companies typical of HN?
Possible reasons why my experience has been different:
- I've never worked in a role that is easily replaceable. I've worked mostly consulting for the past decade. The industry has a lot of hiring friction, like extensive background checks, making it hard to give up and replace quality workers. In most cases, even my long notices did not give the employers enough time to find a replacement for me to train.
- My direct supervisors, managers above them, and myself, have always shared mutual respect - even when they are difficult people. We all also understand our compensation is mostly related to what customers are paying, so there is no expectation that our salaries can be magically increased.
Granted, I did leave one employer over a decade ago with just a day's notice. The company had a lot of problems and hadn't paid me for a few months already, so quitting was well overdue.
