Got my job offer today.

I was prepared to ask for a dollar more than starting pay due to what little experience I have.

I was offered over 3 dollars more than starting pay.

Which is still more than I currently make.

Now all I have to do is act normal at work until August 😂

I kinda want to quit my job in like June or July so I can have lots of time off..not sure yet. I will certainly make sure that I sign papers before quitting current job.

And I always put in a 2 weeks notice

Congratulations! Don't quit early! Wait for the offer letter from the new company and then give notice. If there are any hiccups, you can likely fall back on your current position that way.

When you leave the current position, don't air grievances, and say that you really enjoy the place, but this offered a better economic opportunity, so one would be foolish not to accept it. Be sure to thank the current employer for the experience that you have gained and say that you will miss them and would stay, but for this opportunity that presented itself. Even if you hate the current work situation, always leave the door open and graciously depart.
