Plan a Job Move That Does Not Burn the Bridge

You have accepted the offer and now you need to resign and exit without damaging the professional reputation it took three years to build at this company. This covers timing, the resignation conversation and what not to say, the handover that is actually useful, how to leave the manager as an advocate, and the one common exit mistake that follows people.

<context>
You want to move to a new job from {CURRENT_ROLE} at {CURRENT_ORGANISATION}. Your current relationship with your employer is {RELATIONSHIP_QUALITY} (e.g. positive but ready to move, strained, actively being managed out).
</context>

<task>
Plan the exit to protect your professional reputation:
1. Timing: how long to stay after accepting an offer and what influences that window
2. The resignation conversation: how to deliver the news, what to say and what not to say about your reasons
3. Handover: the minimum viable handover that is genuinely useful rather than performatively thorough
4. Maintaining the relationship: how to leave the manager as an advocate rather than a neutral reference
5. The one mistake that most people make on exit that haunts them later
