Is there any better feeling than that period between being offered a job and handing in your notice...?

Of course I know there is, but it's just the feeling of freedom, knowing that you have an escape route, feeling wanted by the company that has offered you the role, before the shit hits the fan and managers / HR start getting shitty with you for leaving, while you're trying to stay professional and do a comprehensive handover, knowing that your name will be trashed the minute you leave. Wondering what you'll say to your manager.

I'm appreciating the calm before the storm.

Definitely! When you manage to swing 3 weeks off between leaving one and starting another, in the summer

I cried at the leaving for my first proper, career job, naive child that I was.

@Gsds I love the sound of that. I wonder if I could try that...

@FinallyHere to be fair so did I. I'm that much older and more jaded now...
