    I second everything written by /u/idlethreat, and have successfully practiced the same advice with great results. Professional contacts are the ultimate ace in your sleeve as you travel through your career, let alone any industry transitions. I have rarely seen someone pull off notifying their current boss/supervisor/team about potentially leaving without some kind of resultant tension. I'm not saying it can't be done smoothly, but it greatly depends on so many things - company culture, manager's temperament and practicality, the degree of investment an organization has put into you thus far, capacity for current projects, etc. Good luck whichever road you take!
