i started a job 2 months ago and although I have put my best effort into this job I was recently informed that I "don't fit". I was hired on a 90 day probation period so in 30 days I will be let go not matter what......so if I find a new job quickly should I let them know in advance or not.

Yes you should give notice. It is the courteous and professional thing to do.
However, since the employer has indicated that you "don't fit", they may decide to let you go sooner.
When you accept a new position, tell the new employer that you will be giving a 2 week notice, but should your current employer let you go early, you would be willing to start your new job right away. This will show your new employer that you are professional and eager to work.
Leaving a job is always a bit awkward, but take the high road, keep your chin up, and remember that just because you "don't fit", doesn't mean that you're not a good employee. You're just destined to do great things somewhere else!!
Best of luck to you!

You should always give notice no matter the length of employment time. Even if you intend to stay the full 90 days, it is good business practice to even notify them that you do not intend to stay after the 90 days. Although I recommend that you stay until they let you go, as then you will at least have employment. But if you intend to leave beforehand, you should give them 2 weeks notice (or at least a week) so they can recoup a new employee to take your place. (I'm sure that they're working on that also.)
If you don't give a notice, they have the right to give that information to your future employers, if asked. Future employers do not look kindly on not giving notice and will take that into consideration when you apply with them.
If you've already been informed by your employer that they do not intend to keep you, I would discuss with them what the best option is. I'm sensing that they might just want some changes made by you, seeing as you have not been fired. They are not obligated to keep you the full 90 days. Talk to your manager and figure out what can make the best change, either you leave with notice or you stay with changes.
Sometimes it's better to work differently, then to leave altogether. They invested a lot of time and money into you, and if you haven't been fired yet, they might also think about keeping you.

I would usually say yes, give the notice, it's good business practice. But you are within your probation and either party can end the employment at any time during probation, so do what you think is right. I have heard that many companies will tell prospective employers "No" when asked if they would hire you again, if you didn't give proper notice. But it sounds like this company might already say that.

I would say that you should always give a two week notice, as it shows a level of maturity even if you "don't fit." Many jobs give a 90 probation so that they don't have to pay unemployment and it may have nothing to do with fit. Keep your chin up and good luck.

Always give a two week notice. You may not fit in the position that you have been currently hired for but in the future you may qualify for another position so its always best to leave on the best terms possible.

It sounds hazy to me. your not a good fit, but they care keeping you around for another month?? I wounldn't bother with them too much. If the new employer is willing to wait for you to give notice then still give it. However if they would like you to start earlier do it. Worry about what your new employer think not the old. My new employer wanted me to give a 2 week notice before working for him. I think if I would have walked way without the proper notice he would have wondered if I would do it to him too.

Well, do you think they will give you a good reference? Or are you depending on them for a good reference because the job you are about to have is similar?
If you are on probation usually if you decide to leave they don't care.

Always give a 2 week notice, then the employer can decide if you can leave earlier.

If it involves you leaving before they are planning on it, yes, give the 2 weeks notice.
