The days of staying with one company and being amply rewarded with things like pensions and raises is long over. Loyalty rarely gets you anything.
I've been a software developer for over 20 years. I've worked for roughly four companies in that time. The pay increases I got from switching jobs is about triple that I received for my 'loyalty' (staying with the same company).
I recommend giving your two week notice because that's the ethical thing to do.
