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)

Why would you do this?

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

Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.

There's a debate about this going on in the Google bowl, which I find interesting. Most people are saying they don't have a problem with this, but I think it's deeply unfair.

The argument that resonates with me is that if you move to a LCOL city the value of your output isn't all of sudden worth 25% less.

Curious what others in the industry think.
