If you respect your employer, give a 2 week notice, longer if you can, and please hold to your final work day. Nothing is more irritating than having someone no call no show on their final days. Not keeping your end of the notice can make you look bad in the future for interviews. Remember that most employers will do a reference check call to your past employers.

There are (at least) 2 points of view on this subject:
1) Assuming you are in an "employment at will" situation, and unless you signed an agreement stating the amount of notice you must give, then either party can terminate the employment at any point. Technically, you do not need to give any notice.
2) Just walking out, although technically correct, is usually a BIG NO NO as it is almost never a good idea to 'burn your bridges'. Unless there is an underlying reason why you can't (or don't) want to give any notice, then 2 weeks is the customary minimum.

Give your employer at least a two weeks notice. They need enough time to look for a replacement or atleast have time to think about what direction they want to take now that they may have an opening.

I would do two weeks if you can, otherwise, no less than a week. It looks better to the new employer that you give the courtesy of the two weeks' notice.

At least 2 weeks. Longer if you can. It gives your employer a chance to fill your position and to "bridge the gap" between you and your replacement.
Try not to burn any bridges as you can use your previous employers as references if you leave on a good note.
Good luck!

Two weeks would be nice. A month would be very generous of you!

2 weeks...always, no matter how long or short of a time you've been there.
