I would inform my boss first and then my team.
Perhaps the boss may try to keep me, with a counter offer. But if there was a reason I decided to leave, I guess accepting the new offer probably won't help my reputation.

Anish, once you submit i don't think it's valued to stay for short time then you be humiliated and fired then you lose both opportunity and your reputation in the market so you will be of no where
My partner will probably know before I do :) . I would have informed him every step of the way as I was looking for a new job, interviewing and getting offers. I would have discussed with him whether I should consider and accept the new offer. Knowing me I would be overthinking everything, stressing about if this is the right thing to do and he would have let me vent to him any concerns knowing what I will ultimately do.
You might have done a risk analysis Dinah ;-)

Of course I would do a risk analysis before changing jobs. What are the pros and cons, what may go wrong if I leave, what may go wrong if I stay.

The worst experience in my professional life was when a senior team member tried to position me in better structure without referring to the boss.
The consequences were disastrous, he was simply fired and I was constrained to follow him by solidarity. Since then I had retained the lesson; the hierarchy must be fully respected: the boss first and any other person next.
Cheikh, looks like that senior has a short hand, no big approach & influence in the company but yeah I heard you Saving Changes...
When I was in this position and I managed a team directly, I told my manager first because that is professional courtesy. I then had an open discussion with her about wanting to be the one to inform my team. They could counter-offer and they could ask you leave immediately. You have to be prepared for both a good and bad situation. You should always stick to professional courtesy though in order to not "burn your bridges".
Jennifer, wow that possibility is there too, do you mean they would waive your 2 weeks notice?

When working in a secure environment, they often do not want someone to stay around after they submit their resignation. People leaving a company are more likely to pose a security risk. They could sabotage something or just get "lazy" with following protocol.
