I’m putting my 2 weeks in, I need help about timing.

I’m an environmental chemist at an international corp here in the US. I busted my ass, went above and beyond, did my superiors job for them and lifted others up around me. I was asked to train new employees, often time higher ranking then myself. I thought for sure my managers would recognize this and promote me to atleast an equal rank of those I was training(two promotion levels higher). Review time came around and I received an 98.5/100. I was very proud. My manager gave me a single promotion and a 10% raise. I understand this is not a normal raise, but when you make 40k, going to 44k doesn’t really excite me. So I decided to look else where and I have landed a sales job with an equal base salary and commissions. But I’m unsure when to put my 2 weeks in. We have had a week…

Should I put my two weeks in the day I leave for vacation? Should I wait til I get back to put my two weeks in? Or does it not matter? I’m fearful that if I put my two weeks in before the vacation, they’ll just fire me and only have to pay my PTO back to me at 50%. Can anyone provide experience or insights? Thanks and sorry for the long winded text.
