Hey guys. So I'm in somewhat of a unique scenario and also young. So I'm asking advice. I am 23 and work in a design firm an hour away from my home. Today I was offered an infinitely better job in every way that is ten minutes from my home. I accepted. My current company is sending me along with the CEO (I work directly under him) and a co worker to CES Las Vegas in three weeks. Given the time of the Holiday, both my CEO and this Co worker are gone until CES on vacation. I start my new job on January 14th. So Monday would be 3.5 weeks notice. I have never quit a job before in the corporate world and also I sort of feel like this is screwing them. On the other hand it's plenty of notice and I don't feel like spending a week in Las Vegas with my boss who knows I am quitting when we get back. Are there any legal situations I'm breaking? What's the absolute best way to handle this? Do I give a letter to HR first? Thanks for your help!

This is all good advice. Thanks everyone. My CEO and manager who I report to (small company) are both on vacation for a while, so that will be a fun way to kick it off for them.

Update -

Broke the news today after getting my offer letter. My CEO became a child and cancelled my CES trip, and doesn't want to talk to me ever again. My last day is on the 9th. Works for me!
