Long Notice periods- Grapevine

I am a fresher, and my company has a 3 month notice period. I want to know do normally people have offers in hand before resigning or they find next stint in the notice period. I ask this because I don't imagine companies waiting 3 months for us to join. Do they?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am working in Capgemini. I have 2 yoe experience. Wherever i apply either they skip my profile or HR rejects it when she/ he hears of 3 months notice period. Is there any suggestions how to handle this problem.

Why every company needs employees immediate but they have 1-3 months compulsory notice period.

How to tackle 3 month notice period

Software Engineer

Some well known companies reject potential candidates because notice period at their current organisation is >1 month, but they themselves have 2-3 months of notice period ⚔️

In my opinion, how a company treats an employee after they've resigned relatively tells more about the culture than onboarding/interviewing 🥴

Notice Period Doglapan

Do Companies wait for 90 day notice period or immediate joining is only preferred by companies?

90 Day notice awaiting

Why are recruiters looking for immediate joiners?
I seriously, respectfully, want to understand why is this rule? Even the company you are hiring for has 60 days notice period or even more.
In todays market nobody wants to resign without an offer. 
People having 60 days( or 90 days) notice period, what should they actually do.

Why are recruiters looking for immediate joiners?

Precisely. Also if they meet someone who is an immediate joiner, first question they ask if why did you leave your job without another offer! I mean do you have to pay my bills or rent? Your role is just to match if the candidate fits the job profile and forward their resume. Never understood this outdated thinking that if someone is not working currently, there is something wrong with them. Maybe they have well off parents?? But no everyone is assumed living paycheck to paycheck

Software Test - QA

I've been working as a React developer for almost 3 years (2 years, 9 months) plus had a 3-month internship. I'm looking to make a career move to a company that offers better mentorship and growth opportunities, but my current job requires a 3-month notice period before leaving. 

I'm struggling with a few aspects of navigating this job change given the long notice period:

1) Finding Companies Open to Waiting
How do I identify companies that would be willing to wait the full 3 months for me to start after giving notice? When and how should I bring up the notice period requirements during the application/interview process?

2) Getting Referrals
My professional network is somewhat limited. What are the best ways to try securing internal referrals to companies I'm interested in, which could help increase flexibility around waiting for my start date?

3) Preparing for Interviews  
Besides the standard technical preparation, what is the best way to practice for and respond to questions about my reasons for leaving my current role after such a long tenure? How can I reassure them I'm committed despite the extended notice period?

4) Evaluating Offers
If a company is unwilling to wait the full 3 months, is it worth trying to negotiate a shorter notice period or looking at temporary/contracting roles until I can start full-time? How do I evaluate whether the role is worth that hassle?

I want to be as prepared as possible for this transition, so any advice or suggestions from folks who have gone through a job change with a long notice period would be greatly appreciated! Let me know what you think or if you have any other tips.

3 Month Notice Period !!

3 months notice period

Why notice perioda are 3 months in most MNC's ??? How to reduce this to 2 months or to 1 month???

Notice period: 3months

Do they want to hire people who have been fired for non performance but can join immediately?

Why does every IT company in India has 90 days notice period but they want jobseekers to have to join in less than 30 days ?

I completed my graduation at a tire 3 college and started my  career from a service based company with 90 days notice, back then hardly I got any response from any recruiter that too in covid periods when the software industry was at its peak. 

Now I have more than 3 years of experience in backend development if I join an org with a 3 month notice period how difficult it would be after 2 years to get a new job opportunity

90 days Notice period

I am a 4 YoE backend engineer on a Python stack. I feel I have a decent profile coz I have got calls from Bosch, L&T, Deloitte, Quantiphi, LTIMindtree and etc., but my profile didn’t get shortlisted every time just because of the 60 day's notice period. I even asked my friends for referrals to companies like Accenture and Infosys. Even after that, my profile also didn't get shortlisted.

Any suggestions? I want to change my company too.

Curse of 60 days NP

Companies arent looking forward to hire me if I say I have 3 months notice period. If say I have 10-30 days of notice period, and if I do land a opportunity, how can I join the newer company on immediate basis without serving 3 motnhs. Buyout option is by having to pay the equivalent of 3 months, which goes beyond 200k. I am not willing to pay a company this much amount, given I only earned 300k from them. Should I first apply for notice period and then start interviewing or first land an opporutnity and then apply for notice period.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I’m an APM with total exp of 5 years and 3 years of exp in Product.
Current CTC : 14-16
Tier 2 University/College

How much should my ask be, while applying for jobs that could be considered a safe number in terms of CTC? 

Want to gauge before applying since expected CTC is a mandatory question while applying for more jobs.

Also, my org. without my consent has increased my notice period from 30 to 60 days - I’m sure everyone wants an immediate joiner but what would be an ideal notice period range which I should state. This would help me in deciding how much of my notice period should I buy out.

Thanks in Advance,
Cheers 🤘🏻

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Talking about the new obsession with one nation and one xxxx, a thing that actually matters to us fellow employees is one nation one month notice period. This rule is to ensure the notice period is of max one month and not a day beyond it. 

I know many companies have a 2 week policy and lots of companies in the west have this policy (including startups). But why do a lot of us have to suffer because of 2 and 3 month notice periods when most of the recruiters aren't willing to wait for so long? Also the irony, all these companies want immediate availability. It's high time we make this a law, Modi pls pass the bill for one nation one month notice period.
