When moving from one job to another, is it common or appropriate to disclose where you are going or that the other employer offered a significant percentage increase in wages? Should I simply keep this private? Surely they would likely find this later, right? Reading the tea leaves, my current employer can’t match the pay offer. I do want to keep a good relationship in case I discover some hidden skeletons with the new guys. I’ve done my due diligence but, nothing is 100% certain.

If they ask I would tell them and if they ask why I would say it’s because of “x learning opportunity” and increase in comp. If you won’t be taking a counter offer there’s no point in proactively mentioning imo. I wouldn’t keep it a secret though because they will likely find out once you update LinkedIn/website is updated.

Tell them if they ask, but there is no real benefit to you to disclose that information.
