You wouldn’t because everyone is expecting you to do the right, corporate thing, so they’ll gladly wait for you to gracefully terminate your old job.
In tech anyways.

If you’re hopping within the country, usually the local culture is adapted. I never had issues with it, employers expect you to have a resignation period.
Plus as I was saying companies don’t really like to have a working quitter, so they will usually negotiate for that time to be shortened. Maybe one month so you can transfer your knowledge to somebody else, then you’re out - with the three months money, naturally.

As someone who has dealt with multiple people leaving (two fired, two quit with no warning, and two with warning), I honestly don’t see much value after the first couple days. So honestly, a 1-week period would be plenty, if only to give HR a chance to properly close everything out while you’re still easily reachable.
Even a month sounds excruciatingly long. We have a 2-week expectation here in the US, and it’s more than sufficient to get someone off-boarded, though insufficient to find a replacement. And that’s fine, we just adjust to whatever the new headcount is (usually by cutting out a bit of work after reassigning more important work).
That said, I would appreciate some form of mandatory severance. We don’t have any, and it sucks when the market is poor.
