Yes I'd give 2 weeks notice, you don't want to burn any bridges upon your departure. I've know many who left on good terms and went back to work for the firm with a title upgrade and better salary. True they don't give you advance notice, but what if the new firm that hires you happens to find out you left the firm without giving notice. Just my thoughts and many may not agree, but if your young it's the best advice I could give you.

Yes, @5atr+1b0MbF6n, they give you notice when they lay you off. But it's even more generous than that. You're a full employee for at least 2 weeks after they notify you and get paid and have benefits even though you don't have to come in to work. They also give you 2 weeks sub pay and benefits for every year you've been there and even round up your years of service. At least for exempt employees...
Although 99.9% of you are actually fired because they never intend to bring you back. And most firings couldn't even be called "downsizing" because they hire people in India to try to do your job.
Will they give you notice when they lay you off? No. I didn't give them a notice. Fu-k them.
YES YES YES. Not because of the commute but because BNYM is a horrible company.
I would give about 2 hours notice and run for the exits
Another thing to consider is that you might catch up in a few if they give actual raises compared to 1% "raises" the bank hands out.
The 10% less salary job seems to be less stressful than my current BNY job. Less stress and less money, it might be a way out of this mess.
It depends upon how much you commute in time/distance. How much gas, tires, brakes are you burning every month, every year....figure it out. How much time is lost behind the wheel? Determine your hourly rate and figure out weekly/monthly/yearly....and decide. Eliminating lost commuting time will benefit your peace of mind, time with family and friends, party time, etc. I myself only twice in my entire career ever lived more than 15 minutes away from work. Even that became a waste. I finally in 2000 decided to work from home office permanently, and it became a pre-requisite for new employment. I have had key positions at huge corporations, and tiny startups, and it isn't an issue. Had I sucked it up and decided to commute or relocate, I could have climbed even higher on the ladder of success, but I am happy. And I am nearly done with the merry go round. Time to grab the gold ring.
