&gt; 1. Is it ethical to leave my company in the meantime...<p>Assuming you don&#x27;t have a specific contractual obligation to deliver a project, yes. A good professional practice is to give proper notice (up to 1 month).  And a detailed, written transition plan handing-off your work off to colleagues.  Plus, an offer to consult&#x2F;assist after your departure.<p>&gt; 2. Is there a way to look for a new job so that my current job doesn&#x27;t know about this?<p>Handle any interview phone calls&#x2F;emails off-premises, only on your personal device, and best done outside of normal business hours.  Your lunch hour is fine.<p>Plan PTO in advance for in-person interviews&#x2F;meetings. Try scheduling on Thursdays&#x2F;Fridays and call it an extended weekend getaway mini-break.
