I have a job offer, effective Oct. 1, which means two weeks notice would be Sept. 14. I will be away the following week (pre-planned vacation which my current employer is aware of). I'm not sure if I should give notice the day I leave for vacation. I'm looking for professional opinions. Thanks!

The best thing would to give him 2 weeks prior to going on vacation. Since you never want to leave on bad terms. Also make sure your vacation has been approved before you tell them you are leaving! Also use your personal/sick days before you leave on vacation and leave. They most likely go by if you dont use them you lose them. Thats what happen to me. If you really dont think you will work there anymore or dont need them as a referance give them a week before you leave. Unless they have plenty of employees and like you a lot i would just give the 2 weeks.

I am in the same exact situation. I have been offered a job that starts the same day, and I also have vacation that is planned within my two weeks notice period. I went ahead and put my notice in last week. I recommend that you either put it in now or just before you go on vacation. Even though you are gonna be gone your employer still has the notice and the time to make arrangements if necessary.

There isn't a legal requirement to give two weeks notice, it's the professional and courteous way to handle leaving a job. Since the purpose of the notice is to give time to clean up any loose ends and turn anything outstanding over to someone else, that would be two weeks actually working, not time off when you couldn't be doing those cleanup things.
That said, talk to your employer. Depending on your job, one week actually working might be enough.

Two weeks is two weeks, regardless of vacation that has already been planned.
But if your job is crucial to your company, you might want to give your two weeks on September 7th. That will give you two weeks of work yet still allow your employer time to make adjustments.

the 1st factor you need to have completed is examine into the job and the scientific institution's worker kinfolk. talk with many of the scientific institution's contemporary workers and notice how they like it there surprisingly to those with jobs heavily concerning yours. this way you provides a minimum of a1 week be conscious and understand in case you will bypass and take the recent job or shop your previous one. contained sooner or later discover ways to do your homework earlier changing jobs in the different case you will no longer have reliable strategies from previous employers.
