In most cases, keep an external job search private until you have accepted an offer and are ready to resign. Tell your boss earlier only when a trusted relationship, required reference, internal policy or genuine career conversation gives disclosure a clear benefit that outweighs the employment risk.
You may value honesty or need a reference, while knowing that an employer can change assignments, succession plans or expectations once they believe you may leave. Disclosure should serve a clear purpose.

Know what sharing is meant to achieve
Do not disclose simply to force a raise, test loyalty or relieve guilt. Decide whether you need a reference, want help exploring an internal path, must explain scheduling, or trust the manager to support your development even if you leave.
Compare trust with practical exposure
| May support disclosure | Reason to keep searching privately |
|---|---|
| Your manager has supported past transitions. | People who signal departure lose opportunities. |
| A reference is required at a late stage. | The process is early or speculative. |
| An internal solution could meet your goal. | You are using disclosure as leverage. |
| You can manage the consequences now. | Job or visa stability would be exposed. |
