All I can say is that we have a dynamic at my current job where we really trust each other. Other jobs I've had, yeah, I always kept it on the down low until it was time to put in notice. When you put in your notice is when you really find out what they think about you. A few jobs I've had, they said how about we keep you in the system in case you change your mind? Even though I never took them up on that it was nice that they offered. The job I had before this one, they were tired of me and I was tired of them. Everybody was happy when I cleaned out my desk, me especially!
I'm acutely feeling nervous about this, even though I haven't been offered the job and I doubt I would be the favorite given how I'm over-educated for it and I'm not coming from the same line of work. Oh well...
