- Keep working and carry on as you normally would so as to not draw attention to your intentions.
- Don’t discuss your plans to your co-workers or friends.
- Start slowly packing up your personal item.
- Stay close to your friends at your current job so you can network with them later on.
- Back up and/or remove personal items from data systems.
