I think it’s better to talk about it personally with your manager, especially if he/she trustworthy person. Leaving in good terms is important, never burn the bridge. There is no rule that make you should share why you are leaving, including too detailed about salary. Just make it as general as you can.
Why not both? Like can you announce your resignation and not talk face to face after?
As for the reason I guess you wanna stay neutral from your post, usually I use the good old it’s me not you reason by saying wanting to see something else.
I would recommend searching the subreddit for similar questions in regards to exiting a job, or exit strategy (from the country, if that is the case) in general.
The main thing is that legally the minimum time from notification to last day is 2 weeks. Like kingboulvard wrote, it is a good idea to do this talk in person. The reasoning is just dressing on salad.
I would avoid specifics on why you’re leaving, especially not telling them where you’re going. They aren’t entitled to any of that information, and giving it to them isn’t going to benefit you in any way. Edit: if they really want to know, they can look you up on LinkedIn after you go.
As for how, I’d go with email first so it’s officially in writing, then face to face soon after (like within the hour).
Some (possibly most) companies are very chill about employees leaving and will treat you professionally and sincerely wish you well. But if yours is one of the toxic ones, you’ll be glad for giving them as little information as possible.
I agree that you should talk with someone (a supervisor, manager, whatever, maybe not a big big boss though) and let them know first.
Then, you should find out if your company has any kind of form you submit. Some places in Japan have a certain form (or perhaps a certain format) for the quitting notice, perhaps if you search for a 退職届 (taishoku todoke) online you can get some ideas.
>Is it better to give the one month notice via email or in-person?
If you’re on good terms with them, let your manager know first and then hand in your 退職届. If it’s a black company and you suspect they’re gonna cause trouble, just hand in the 退職届 specifically stating your last day and be sure to take any paid leave you have left before that day.
>How detailed should I be if asked why I am leaving? Salary?
You only talk about what you feel comfortable talking about. No matter how close you think you are with people there, I personally never specially mention which company I’ll be working for next. Might be a little paranoid, but you never know.
