<human>: Hi guys,

So recently (3 months ago) I started a new job for a very small company as the Digital Marketing Manager. Sounded great on paper and they sold it to me very well. The pay is good and there sounded like good prospects. After taking the job, I quickly realised I'd made a massive mistake. The industry is notoriously shady, the company is so small that I spend a lot of time working alone. And the job itself is unbelievably boring and a huge step back for me from a career standpoint. The only saving grace at the moment which stops me from walking out the door is the two guys that run the company are the nicest and most supportive business owners that I've worked with. 

I have been searching for a new job as I know I want to leave. One of the companies I interviewed with a couple of times have gotten to the point where I they're checking my references, so I suspect I will be getting an offer soon. 

This is where it gets awkward. A few weeks back, I told the directors of my current company that the business required a marketing plan, which I volunteered to put together. I presented it this week and they really liked it and were excited about where it could lead. The whole time all I could think about was that I am about to quit. Today they sent me an email saying they are so happy with it, they are paying me a large bonus as appreciation. I have never been so depressed to see that I am getting a bonus.

I am hoping for an offer from this new job asap. I have no idea what to tell the business owners at my current job, especially after they have paid me the bonus. I don't want to keep the money and I am happy to pay it back. I'm really not sure how to handle this situation. 

Appreciate your advice guys.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
