Anyone ever get a job offer at a new company and tell their current boss before accepting/leaving?

No, I only let people know once all paperwork (background check too) is complete.

You don't wanna do that unless it's confirmed.

Agree with account manager 1 above - if you bring up the presence of another offer or job, you have to be prepared to leave at that moment. Note, most offer acceptances are non-binding either way, so you can always accept, tell your manager, they raise you or do something to get you to say, then you can decline the accepted offer with no skin off your back (other than maybe some bad feelings with the team you accepted)

In my opinion, before embarking on such a situation, look at the current money situation and decide accordingly

I don't say anything until the offer is in writing and everything is signed.

I think it's pretty self-explanatory but that is not a smart thing to do at all!

I know I’m underpaid where I am currently and random glassdoor salary range research is less real than real job offers. I know my manager wants to keep me and would give me a raise, but I want to convince them what market rate actually is for me. I might be convinced to stay where I am if I got a comparable pay raise, if moving companies is mostly for the money. But yeah its prob just time to go…

No I'm too paranoid that it'll fall through. I don't say a word until everything is done and dusted

I have a CD that gets extremely flustered when you ask them for their opinion on a solution. For example after showing them multiple color pallets and CD not quite liking any of them (real Goldie locks moment) i suggested why not we do (fill in three colors here), the CD freezes up and gets annoyed because they don’t want to say yes or no without seeing it in front of them. Working on tight turn arounds and a cd who is too busy for meetings it proving tough with remote working. Any tips?

I’ve noticed that many LGBTQ+ people make a point of “coming out” to co-workers or clients when initially introducing themselves.
