This is how it works everywhere. Do you go to your boss and say "well, I'm thinking of quitting and taking a different job, but I'm not sure yet and I'm still deciding. I'll let you know when I've decided!"



Once. Never again.


I guess it depends somewhat on your goals? It may not be optimal for your own career but it may be better for your boss to know?


People with good job security and good position in the labor market can do this. Lot of people already do shop around and try to get a raise, etc.


But are they letting their boss know that they are doing it?


Not during the process necessarily, but if they've received a viable offer sure.


Yes for sure, but that is the parallel. You won't let your boss know during the process.


I mean, the US president very much doesn’t have good job security, though.


resignation and successful impeachment rates are pretty low, so basically it's 4 years, and then later basically one can do whatever they want, they instantly have an amazing audience/market.
