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.

Perhaps you should make a pro/con list. I'm having a hard time thinking of a pro

Pro is that its a relief so that your manager doesnt keep trying to pile more responsibilities on you

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

Hey, I am appearing for a pre-sales engineer interview. It will be a sort of role-play demo session, where the team will want to understand how I present, how I manage a room, how I keep my audience engaged and also your technical abilities when asked regarding the solution. I have a liberty to choose any data science related product. I am essentially confused as to what product to choose, and how to structure the presentation. I would highly appreciate tips and suggestions. Thanks

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise. I know he was the provider of the household and his wife didn't have a job since she was raising three young ones. Needless to say, I had to take off because I felt terrible, sick to my stomach. How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.
