It’s not quite in the bag, but I have excellent internal promoters at potential new job who are very confident it is happening soon. Like many places there is general hesitancy and Finance department panties twisting because of the SPS Trump economy, but they just followed up this morning with a “keeping me warm” email. Basically can’t stop fantasizing about telling manager and GC I’m quitting and it’s now impossible to get anything done. Weirdly agonizing moment, and was curious if any of my XO brethren have ever had a similar experience. Last time I quit it was the opposite, ie I was trying to make sure I didn’t screw over my friends on my old team and my boss, who was a mediocre boss at best, but a very good dude separate from work. I don’t even dislike my current boss, but GC is a moron and it would be so glorious to have him beg me to stay, string him along a bit so he really embarrasses himself, then tell him to go fuck himself and do nothing for a month before new job would start.

Always assume you're not getting a new job until new employment agreement is fully executed and practical onboarding steps have been taken. I've strung countless people along in just the manner you're describing while I weigh various options.

I know this is right and I will probably be able to snap out of it by this evening or tomorrow morning at the latest. But right now it’s basically the same feeling as knowing a secret that is good for me and bad for people who annoy me and the anticipation of that secret getting out is all consuming.

I get THE FEAR if I think about leaving my current job. Overall, your mindset is risky for you, but a healthy perspective to take. Enjoy it brother.

If I can’t get any work done tonight, I will at least be productive enough to contact other places where I applied and am still in process and let them know I am expecting an offer to try to shake something else loose for salary negotiation purposes.

New one is (albeit with travel once a month or so for in person meetings), current one isn’t.
