Thanks again for all of the advice!

I ended up putting in my resignation today, 4 weeks away from my end date. In the end, I determined it was the appropriate amount of time given my circumstances (I'm moving, not leaving for another job).

I suspected that my boss would be understanding because it was due to a move but I was really blown away by her response. She was like "No! We don't want you to leave! You've been such a great part of this team!" and even offered assistance as far as getting in touch with a contact out there and offered to be a recommendation.

I was extremely flattered and humbled by this. My new boss is a bit tough--she's super smart and I have a very high opinion of her on a professional level, but she is not easy to read so I could never get a good gauge on how I'm doing and what she thinks of my performance (I have not yet had a yearly review since being on her team). Hearing that was really assuring and felt good. Made my conversation with her so much easier.

Feels good to have it off my chest after knowing we're moving for over 2 months. I still have to wait a week or so before we can tell the team, but this is helpful.
