Quick context: the school is aware of some issues (largely on their end), and I've decided to stay for now but I'm thinking about my longer-term plan.

Typically, professors give notice around April–May so the school has time to find a replacement before the next academic year. But I'm wondering if leaving in December is seen as unprofessional, given that winter break is only about a month long — not much time for the school to find someone.

Would this hurt my reputation? My main goal is to finish out the year so I can cover rent, but I don't see myself staying in teaching long-term.
