I really need great advice on my problem. My boss found out about my job hunting since I was interviewed by a president of an Investment Bank who wants to hire me. It so happened that this president knows a lot of people in the company I work in.

Just continue to do a great job at your current employer. This will be proof enough for your loyalty to the company. And if you are worth it, they won't take offense that you are seeking other opportunities. This is because it shows that you are one competitive individual. Your passion and competitive sprit will be worth keeping.

Well, if your boss found out he won't be a happy camper.
It depends on how well you are liked and how important your position is and how much your position is important to him.
People look for other jobs all the time; it should not be a surprise to your boss. After all you have to look out for #1 - that's you.
Now that he knows, be prepared to accept the job offer and exit gracefully. I guess when you applied for this job, that's what you wanted. So, you got it. What's there to worry about.
Only thing is, do not take a parting shot with your present boss. Especially because the new employer knows a lot of people in your company and bad mouthing your present employer to the future employer will reflect badly on you and your character.
Rule of thumb: It is never a good idea to bad mouth employers however bad the situation under which you left the company.
Just move and be prepared to take on additional responsibilities and do not look back. That's the best answer I can give you.

Well... a couple of things can happen.
He can confront you and try to "save" you. Don't go for it... 90% of people that take counter offers are no longer at the company they work for within 12 months.
He can "lay you off". He doesn't have a valid reason to fire you unless you've been slacking off during your job search.
Whichever - move along towards your new position as quickly as possible.

I agree with the first person. Now you need to go in full gear with your job search.
In the future I would ask that future interviews that you have be kept confidential.

it depends on youre supervisor and how well you do youre job, the last 2 raises i got was because my supervisor knew i was thinking about taking another job and offered me more money to stick around. but its just because i am a very hard worker and do my job very well, if i was just average he probably would have let me move along.

Try to hide that from your boss, because no one likes to lose his/her workers because at that moment, they start to think that they're not good enough to be leaders.
Anyway, that wouldn't be a pleasant situation for you, because they're practically all the same.
