How to Quit a Job Without Burning Bridges

The way you leave a job matters more than you think. People remember exits -- your boss, your teammates, the person who replaces you. Give proper notice, write a genuine handover document, and resist the urge to air grievances on your way out. The satisfaction of a dramatic exit lasts about two hours; the reputation damage can last years.
Keep it simple and professional. Thank the people who helped you grow, finish what you can, and leave the door open. The working world is smaller than it looks, and the manager you ghost today might be the hiring committee member you meet in three years.
The point
A graceful exit protects your reputation and keeps doors open that you may want to walk through again someday.

When I quit, I wrote detailed documentation for my replacement, trained them for 2 weeks, and left a clean inbox. My ex-boss still refers people to me. How you leave is how they remember you.
