You'd already planned to be out of town on vacation for the last week of July. The new job wants you to start August 9th. Both old and new jobs are remote work.
Do you:
a) give notice with a hard stop date to avoid giving the old job any more of your time
b) give notice with a suggestion for part time consulting in August to help them find a replacement, and get more money out of the old job
c) wait to give notice until after your first week on the new job and secretly do the old job in off hours through the end of August to get double pay, potentially extending your paid health insurance benefits an extra month
d) ?
