Accepted an offer from Apple, and now need to give my two-weeks notice to AWS. If asked, should I say where I am going? My guess is that as long as it is not GCP or Azure I should be good, but wondering if the two-week period will go smoother if I just say I’m not going to a competitor instead of going to Apple. Edit: Resigned, indicated I was not going to a cloud competitor, and manager was kind enough to avoid asking where. Said whenever I felt comfortable he would like to know where. Thanks all for the candid feedback YOE 11 (7 in LATAM / 4 Post MBA) TC current 240K TC new 300K
It should never tell them where you are going.
What level at Apple?
Ict4
Please accept this as my official resignation from Xxxx within in the Department of Xxxxx. I appreciate the work have been able to accomplish together. My final day at AWS will be Day, Month, Year. I have been using this. You can mention verbally if your boss or colleagues are good. One time I resigned before having any job with two weeks notice. Every day in those two weeks he used to ask questions differently to extract information. Questions were like what kind of work you would doing, what are you going to do with your lease, how are you going to manage your expenses, what conferences are you planning to attend so that we could meet. I volunteered for almost 2 years after I left whenever they need because they couldn’t find my replacement for two years because of unique skill needed and also pay rate $40 a hour. His boss told me not go to his competitor. People usually say that I guess. Not sure if your work involves any intellectual property that you need to be mindful.
No IP of any sort to worry about between AWS Infrastructure and Apple.
I have seen an offer rescinded because the partner at my firm was a golf buddy of the director that the employee was going to.
YMMV. I left Microsoft and Amazon in the last few years and I told them where I was going. Both had no issues
Thanks. That’s a relief
I wouldn’t reveal the company in the resignation email. If your manager asks you and you want to have a healthy relationship post resignation, you can let him know. Otherwise you just smile and say you haven’t decided with where you are going.
Perfect answer
YOE / TC ?

No need, just say you're resigning and when you're resigning that's it. don't overcomplicate this because no one cares
Congrats and welcome!
I heard Apple is now paying almost 500k to ICT5? Is it impossible to get hired as IcT5? —- L6 @Amzn 11 yoe 450k
Depends on the team and role. I know several that were hired as ICT5 myself being one.
