Notice Period Employee AMA 🎤

Can we deny working on new stuff in notice period and just focus on KTs ? Or are we bound to work on whatever is thrown at you while serving notice. I am going to decline new work, what implications it can have?

Hi Everyone, Saying from personal experience, I have noticed that 10/10 times I am getting rejected if I say notice period to be 90 days during a Job Switch. All companies are looking for 30/60 days joiners. Even though they themselves have 90 days notice period in their organisation. But let us say if you say to HR that my notice period is 60 days and then get selected, how to manage? How to securely transition from one organisation to another. How to negotiate the notice period effectively?

Just got a decent offer, considering a switch. Not sure how to approach manager (also co-founder) with this news. Context: 1. Org has no clear set of rules/policies, but I heard notice period is usually 1 month. My joining date is 1.5 months from now. 2. Team is in a chaotic state. 1-2 folks were fired, no replacements have been hired. 1 person is on a sabbatical. Worried manager won't take news positively. 3. Want to leave on good terms, this is my first job, so not really aware of how to have these conversations.

I am currently serving my notice period (90 days). Had decided earlier to quit and then look for a role so that I can job hunt in relative peace without worrying about job performance (high impact and demanding role). Was interviewing with a bunch of startup’s and almost every hiring manager and HR asked about why are you quitting without an offer? Same people when I was interviewing while working were concerned about the 90 day notice. Is this considered as a concerning behaviour? Or just a negotiation tactic. Also, what is a correct response to this question in your opinion? The truth seems incredulous to these folks.

Apart from giving the KT session to other team members, will it be mandatory for people to work in the notice period?

When I am applying for a company I get regret mail due to the 90 day notice period of Cognizant. How are you folks dealing with it ?

I have given interview in UST Global and also selected but i have mentioned that my LWD day is June 25 but i have not even resigned. Can you pls suggest how i can handle this situation and what i should say to HR.

Need some guidance. I am currently working in a product based MNC with a decent salary for 8 months. I am having 3 years of work experience. Recently I got an interview opportunity from a US based startup company for a SDE 2 remote role with 50% hike. What shall I do? Should I be continue working in the reputed MNC or try to switch to a startup with 50% hike and complete remote opportunity? Any help and guidance is much appreciated 🙂

When transitioning from a job where the notice period ended early due to fewer dependencies and positive relations with my manager, and with the next joining date 15-20 days away, what steps should I take? And what do you guys do in this time 🧐 does it causes fear ki lege ya nhi 🤣
