When is it best to tell your manager/boss about a job you applied for?

When you are actively looking or when you’re hired and putting in your 2 weeks notice?

Do not tell your current boss you are actively looking. Wait until you are already hired and give 2 weeks notice if possible. If your new boss wants you sooner than 2 weeks, you need to do what's best for you, not your current employer.
