I just had a friend leave a job after 5 years and in this market 5 years is a life time. She asked me if she should tell the firm she is leaving where she is going to work.
My first answer is what's the big deal? They will find out at some point. But then I started to think about it.
should she or not?
What whould you tell your friends?

I wouldn't say a word..anything other than "bye, it's been fun" leaves the door open for a counteroffer, or promises made to keep you hanging on, or, supposed "inside negative information" about the new employer that can cause doubt in the mind of the person leaving..or, if folks are a vindictive sort, threats of being sued for violating a non compete agreement, whether one exists or not.
I probably wouldn't volunteer the info, but if asked I'd share it. I don't see the reason not to, unless you are going to a direct competitor and there could be any kind of issue about that. Otherwise, why be so secretive? If they're asking it's most likely because they're curious and especially if someone has been with a company for 5 years, they probably have some good relationships there, so why not go out on a high note? Let your colleagues congratulate and be happy for you.
