I'm a technical developer. I'm not management. The corporation has made it clear they consider engineers and software developers to be interchangeable commodities.The question of how much notice I need to give to my employer is something I'm wrestling with. I've been with this company for almost 25 years, and like to think I have evolved into a vital cog in the whole enterprise.
Would it be innapropriate to give two weeks notice? I was thinking of giving about 2 months notice. My wife brought up the good point that they might decide to let me go right there on the spot - I'd be out 4 paydays that I'd like to use to pad the savings before I'm done.
Hopefully they would view the two months notice favourably, and use it as an opportunity to train someone to take my place.

Did a few things that qualify as FIRE milestones.
Paid off the mortgage.
Transferred money to live on for 6 months into my high yield checking account. (This is the one I don't use every day - vs the no-interest, but local one, I use for cash flow.)
4 working days left and then I'm RETIRED.
Bummer.So new FIRE milestone and it's back to the grinder.
Some frustrating house hunting in the Bay Area (who are all the people who can afford to pay those 7-digit prices for a hobbit-size house) and spending too much time here have us convinced that we need to push the FIRE goal posts one more time. So new FIRE milestone and it's back to the grinder.
Hopefully you can make it work. The Bay Area is pricey but a nice part of the country to live.Some frustrating house hunting in the Bay Area (who are all the people who can afford to pay those 7-digit prices for a hobbit-size house) and spending too much time here have us convinced that we need to push the FIRE goal posts one more time.

Outstanding, congrats!

- Transferred 6 mos living expenses into separate fixed income acct
- Also created 4 yr CD ladder for added cushion if needed if down market
