I have to give 2 months notice and I'm not sure if they will make me work it all or not. I guess it depends on how stroppy they are with me for leaving!!! It's quite a small firm that I work for now and i have a feeling that they will take it personally.

I'll let you know!!

Actually that is NOT long for a solicitor - most firms make solicitors give 3 months notice to allow time to replace and hand over caseload etc. It's rather rare to have to give less than 3 months.

Obviously check contract yes but 2 months for a solicitor is not a long notice period.

Well done on the new job Charlie - sounds great and there are generally better career prospects in commercial property than staying in pure residential IMO

Hope all goes well with handing in your notice

Thanks Soupie and yes, you're right.

My previous jobs have all had 3 months notice period - but I have checked my contract for this one and it's definitely 2 months.

I have to confess though that I have told my new employer that it's 3 months so that I have a little time to hand my notice in and sort myself out Tut tut!!! lol

I'm still dreading handing my notice in, so keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Touch wood, it's going well with the house Alex!! I've had my survey done and my mortgage offer has been issued - just the legal side of things to sort out now!!

I'm hoping to move on 6th July 2007 - if all goes to plan!!!

Thank you for asking!!
