I got notice everything at the new firm is good to go. Now to give notice. I’m dreading it. I really really like my boss but this opportunity is too good to pass up. How do you even start? I’ve been in this role 8 years. How to give notice?? Yikes! I’m giving about 2 1/2 weeks notice. 10/17 start date. Any help is appreciated!!!

Don't do anything until an actual offer letter is

1. Received
2. Signed and returned
3. Confirmed that they received it

Then worry about giving notice.
