In the past, I've always found another job first and then given my 2 week notice, but at my current job – I have a great relationship with my boss. She really tries to tell me how much she appreciates me and my work as often as she can, but I need to find something that pays more and is a little more fast paced.
I'm in the very early stages of applying elsewhere and am not in a huge rush to leave this company until the right role comes around, but I also feel like should I even let my boss know I'm looking elsewhere? I fear she might feel betrayed/blindsided if I just put my notice in.
