It's safer not to. But I've told my managers before and it has worked well. I'm debating it now too, but I don't think we have the same relationship as my last situation so I'm probably not going to.

Don’t say anything until you accept an offer. At that point, you can give your manager a warning that you’re resigning

I imagine Op thinks the pros may include 1) a heads up to avoid burning a bridge suddenly and/or 2) indicate a degree of dissatisfaction with the firm that may spur some positive action- like a new role, pay, etc. Regardless Op, it's not worth the risk. If you are hoping to leverage this, wait until you have an offer in hand and then approach the situation very delicately.

That would be very selfless of you to do but I would advise Don’t do it. Unfortunately too many ways in which others would not respect that - I’ve seen it cause repercussion problems many times over my 20 years in the professional world. Good relationships will understand you not disclosing and professionals would frankly respect your awareness of potential repercussions
