Depends on the industry. If you will be going to work for a competitor, chances are you'd be walked out the door upon giving notice. Seen it plenty of times and with employees who were well thought-off and got along well with their bosses. Maybe it's better to tell the new employer you need to give two weeks and just plan to have that time off when your current employer walks you out the door. At my last job we had access to some pretty sensitive info, so it was common to not even be allowed back at your desk when you walked over to tell your boss you were quitting. Though everyone knows you could have done plenty of damage before telling anyone you were leaving.
