It's easy, but before you leave, remember: there are very few things in life that matter less than adtech. You will find no shortage of stress and pressure in any field, including ones that pay much less.

First, make sure you don't have too many personal belongings in the office. There's always a chance they'll walk you out of the building on the spot.

Second, tell your manager that you think it's time for a change in your life, and you plan to move on from the company. Your manager probably has an "unregretted attrition" target, so they're unlikely to object to a 2-week notice period if they aren't spiteful.

You will take a big salary hit - make your peace with not owning a downtown penthouse by age 40 - but you probably have enough of a cushion to spend 6-12 months taking stock of your life and goals.

It's not so bad.

Its rare to get walked out, even if going to a competitor.

And unless the OP was on a performance plan or in a lower bucket of ratings (which doesn't sound like it's the case as they're being asked to become a TL), they would not be counted as "unregretted attrition".
