So I HAD to take a job because I lost mine. This new job is great, but I have a offer from my dream job in my dream location, how do I break it to my current job when I haven't been there that long that I am going to take my dream job offer?
Any answer is appreciated.

Just tell them you recieved an offer you can’t say no to. Tell them you really appreciate everyone and your time there. Then give your 2+ week notice and let them know what your last day will be. Don’t feel bad, you’re doing what’s best for everyone in the long run. Ask what you can do to wrap up or hand things off and stay positive.

Don't overthink it, but also don't let them know until you are 100% positive that the new job is a sure thing. You don't want to find yourself unemployed again if the new job falls through. Your current job isn't going to like it, but that is their problem and not yours. Give your short and sweet two week notice letter. Congratulations on the new job and good luck!

Before you say anything at your current job, make sure the offer is absolutely solid, everything is signed, and there's no chance of things going sideways. Then you can just tell your current employer that you got an offer you can't pass up. Just be honest and professional, but make sure the other job is totally in the bag first.

You’re posting under your real name so your current employer likely knows already!

I’ve been talking to people & networking trying to figure out next steps— could use some insight. The culture at my current agency isn’t the best & the pay is basically unlivable for NYC. Any thoughts?
