[quote=Anonymous]Give them 2 weeks notice. Explain that you decided you need more time at home and a less demanding job. The firm should have had you file for family leave to satisfy FMLA that states a start and stop date and your benefits. For the firm, backtracking on that invites trouble. So they don't have much reason to be spiteful. If they are, the worst case scenario is not getting paid for 2 weeks. Unless they had their heart set on you becoming partner, most firms are pretty happy to have a 5th year associate go. They've already figured out how to get their clients serviced while you were out on leave. So you won't be leaving a partner in the lurch with deadlines or work due. Your decision not to go back saves them from carrying someone without a book of business. If you do have a book of business, you should probably think about the potential value of that before going in-house. [/quote]
