If you get the offer for the better job, I would write something pleasant in your resignation letter to your current employer like the following:
"I'd like to thank you for the opportunity you gave me at this company. I will do what I can in my remaining time here to smooth the transition of my projects to other employees."
Or something like that. This way you're giving proper notice and leaving a good impression should you ever need a reference or want another job in that department.
Whatever you do, DO NOT TELL THEM WHERE YOUR NEW JOB IS or what field it's in.
Just say you are leaving due to "relocation" or some crap.
Ha. That would be difficult considering LinkedIn and the fact the new job would be one town over and in a position that would deal with people in my current position. Everything is interconnected. They are going to know where I'm leaving for even if I don't tell them.

You could always remove yourself from linkedin, or simply don't update it with your current job.
Sounds like you don't mind having that info out there and there is nothing wrong with that. But you DO have full control with what's in linkedin. It only gets updated if you choose to update it.
Simply put you can't have everything. There is every possibility no matter what you say that it will **** off your current job. Such is life. They will get over it. So will you.
I started a position with my current employer about months ago knowing that I was going to be looking for something in my preferred career field soon, but I needed SOMETHING to pay the bills, and it was an easy job for me to get (and not a bad one either, just not what I want to do). I am in the final interview phase with another company and could have an offer by the end of next week. The problem is this: there are two people in my current role, and the other person just resigned a couple weeks ago and final day is the end of next week. Some of her projects have been transitioned over to me. So now they have the expectation I'll be taking over these projects that were her's yet I can't tell them yet that I might be leaving soon when it's not yet a sure thing.
Obviously this will leave my current employer in a tough situation with BOTH people in my position leaving. I hold no ill will towards my current employer, but if I get the offer next week I HAVE to take it as it's a much better career opportunity in the field I really want to be in (plus better pay).
How do I tell them I'm leaving in a way that is tactful and without making my boss and fellow co-workers angry?
you haven't landed the other job, yet, so I would just carry-on as usual until it happens than cross
that bridge when you get to it...

That's the plan.
BTW, I had my final interview on Monday and I thought it went really well. Now I'm just sitting around waiting to get a call, hopefully with an offer. Not sure if it's good or bad that I haven't heard from them since Monday. Hopefully just checking references and doing background check, etc?

Background checks usually take around 7 to 10 business days.

I can do a background check in a matter of minutes. It would take a few days if I had to hire a court runner if I found something that needed to be examined more closely.
