I will be receiving a formal job offer from a company by the end of this week, should I give notice to my current company now or wait until I have said offer in hand? Also, is 10 days enough notice? I want my last day to be a week from Friday, should I just wait until my offer comes?

I'd wait just in case. I like your avatar by the way =)

I agree with everyone else. Wait till you get the offer in writing.
Then screw friday and work out your two weeks. If the boss asks you to leave before the 2 weeks are up, then you get a few extra unpaid days off. Otherwise you leave on one day and start the new job the next day. Same as everyone else.

Industry standards for professionals is 14 days to give notice. If a nurse where I work gives less than that she is not considered re-hireable....has to be at least 14 days.
As with anything...I would ALWAYS wait for it in writing...that company should understand that after the written agreement you will give notice, and 14 days til you are able to start with them...I would wait...it would be easy to have your last day on a Friday....but not the best idea if you ever want them for a reference or go back and work there again.

I think that you should wait until you get the offer in writing. Also, 2 weeks notice is typical and shows professional courtesy for the company that you are leaving.
Congrats and good luck!

You should always wait. Wait until you have a starting date before you give your notice. Verbal is nothing that you should quit over. Your notice can be as long or as short as you wish. The proper etiquette is two weeks notice.

A verbal offer is only worth as much as the paper it is written on. Never count on ANYTHING that you don't have in writing. Wait until you have it in writing or you could risk having no job.

it's probably best to wait until you have the offer in writing, then give notice. if you can really count on the verbal offer, let your employer know now and you set your last day.

do not tell the current company till you have the new position 100% sure and ready to go,then speak with your manager you can always apologise about the days but if something goes wrong with the new one then you mashed up and its just not the way..
another good advice do no tell anyone whose not directly conected to this job about the job.
golden rule in life do not tell your intentions to anyone..
and by the way my job is coaching people like you so prevent and improve their abilities so there you are a free consultancy:) enjoy :)

I think you should wait until you have a formal offer in writing. It is not truly "official" until then.
