Any advice?

Yep. Pack your balls up and put them in a box, you won't need those where you're going!

I have no intention of closing the company since it is still required by parse2.com and other income streams. I am going to take it easy for now, swap the car seat for a train seat, and see what the new year brings.Comment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostI don't condone it, but you can always go sick the moment you hand in notice. Alternatively, having some holiday to spare can help effectively turn a 4 week notice to 2 weeks/Comment

If your role isn't massively senior (i.e. not a director) you'll find that a probation period will generally last 3-6 months. Notice period from both parties is typically 1 week, but can sometimes be a little bit more.
Added to that, not many companies want you hanging around if you hand your notice in during your probation period, particularly if you work in IT.
The permie role I left to go contracting was horrific. I'd left a fantastic permie job to join it, but hated it. After about two months, I gave my one week's notice, but they let me go there and then and still paid me for the extra week's notice as they're obliged to do.Comment
