I just gave two weeks notice at my job. I was offered another job that has better benefits and pay, and I couldn't turn it down.
I've only been at my current job for a month, though, and it was an extremely difficult decision. I don't know if my boss has seen my email yet. Slack says he's online, but he hasn't sent me a message yet this morning.
I'm nervous, but I already pulled the Band-aid off, so to speak. I don't like this, but it was the best thing for me an my family.
Six weeks ago, I was sick with worry about finding a new job before my savings ran out. And now I'm worrying about the fact that I have too many jobs. Obviously this situation is better than that, but it's crazy how things can change so quickly.

I finally talked to my boss since turning in my two week notice.
He was very cool about it. I was very nervous about talking to him about it, but he understood that I'm just trying to do what's best for my family. And even told me that if this new job doesn't work out, they'd probably be open to rehiring me.
So, I'm feeling pretty good about it all, and am looking forward to my last two weeks, and start a new job on the 30th.
