the best time to find another job is when you already have one. How does it look like in your case? (linux.community)

Do you go back home and start applying?
Isn’t it tiring? You work 2 full time jobs.
Do you keep it a secret from your coworkers or do you ask them for advice? Some industries are so small you need to talk to people within the industry. You may simply want to change departments within the same big company: management is going to notice if you start comparing job conditions and payment, they can sabotage you, even if you change within the same company.
If you want to keep it a secret, what excuses do you tell the gossips?

It depends on the situation. In my previous job, all of my coworkers knew. Management had no clue. They were all supportive and helped be a reference. In another previous job (long before my last one), I would apply to jobs after work hours and "book" doctors/dentist/car mechanic appointments to do the interviews.

I never ran into gossips, so I've no advice for that.
