I have a bit complicated situation that I am quite stressed about/ feel bad:

Background:

 I am currently have an apartment purchase pending… hopefully close in a few weeks time. At this current job (A) that I have been with for more than 2 years, I found out earlier this year I was on their layoff list so I started interviewing for practice at my own pace. Earlier this week, I have secured a position with a quasi-government agency in my state (B) that is very reputable and the money & benefits are just good to say no. They are very understanding of my mortgage situation and can wait till 9/23. Then I do have a 3 week notice period in my contract with A. Here are really a few scenarios:

 1. If my closing date can be before 8/30 (50% chance, everyone is trying hard though), then I can give the notice and complete my 3 week notice period

2.If my closing date is between 8/30 – 9/23, then I won’t be able to give 3 week notice. Not sure how this would turn out. My manager and I are in a really good relationship and I feel so guilty that I am going to screw him over

1. Look into this with my bank - They did say if prior to closing they found I have a new job then I will need to provide additional details and at least 1 pay stub. I just wonder if there is a chance because this new job comes with more money and being a public sector it provides more job security.

I am definitely tackling this with caution to not risk my purchase and earnest deposit… but really I want to also move on and leave my current job so that is also a good opportunity for me to jump the ship….

Has anyone in a similar situation before and can provide some insight/ advice?
