Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I joined this new job recently, been a month.

Have about 10ish years of experience, and not enjoying the new place. I feel they have hired me prematurely and don't have any real work for me and I am bombarded with stuff, which I feel is intern level / stuff meant for a very junior resource. 

The expectation on ownership was very different  when I was sold the role, but it doesn't seem like they are in a position to deliver the role for the next 6 months.

I feel they have overhired anticipating scale that they would hit 6 months out (which I am very skeptical they would).

Do you guys think it's okay to leave within a month? Has anyone done that before?

Hey all, 

Can I abandon a company within a month of joining if I get a better offer? I know it is not ethical, but what could be the other implications?

Joining Dilemma

Software Test - QA

I wish to know the pros/cons of frequently switching jobs. 
I am in a dilemma, there are posts here and there that say don't switch frequently and then there are posts that nobody cares about frequent job switches, as you are a dev.

Let's discuss ladies & gents✍️

Pros/Cons of Frequent Job Switching

Imagine you are the Hiring manager looking for a Tech Lead who is having 8-10 years of experience. 
  
 He/She has already switched 6-7 companies in the period of 9 years. Will you consider that person working for you? 
  
 I personally won’t.

Is it okay to change a job within 6 months ?

Business Analyst

Hello
I was laid off in January (used work as a Product Analyst) and then I joined another company in March (also as a Product Analyst), 

After working for a month I have understood that the only career pathway they offer is into a PM role whereas I want to grow into a data science role. 

Wanted to get some advice on what to say in interviews for other companies when they ask why I am leaving so soon?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hi All,

Please share your experience if you have resigned ever within 3months (or upto 6 months) of taking the job ?

If Yes, what compelled you to? And how did it affect the further job search ?

Resignation within 3 months

Business Associate

Was laid off, took a pay cut to join this (maybe desperation took better of me)
Now the workload is too much, the founder cracks disrespectful jokes, and vibes are just too off

I am not enjoying the work
I was detesting going to work the first Monday itself 😔 

This is also not aligned to how I imagined my life, off the track really

Should I resign?

Less than a month in new job, I feel stuck. Should I resign?

Corporate Strategist

Hi all,

As the title suggests, I want to know if there are consequences associated with quitting a company in just 3 weeks.

I've joined an early stage startup as one of the first few hires in the product team. The pay and work is reasonably okay. WLB is also good. But one of the companies I was interviewing during my NP from called me back, conducted one more interview and now I have a better offer in hand. This new company is a fintech giant and objectively it makes no sense for me leave this offer. 

I'm stuck in a situation now where I'm getting super anxious to initiate this conversation with my current manager about leaving in just 3 weeks. Can someone help me with this? Please share your experiences if possible. 

Thanks a lot.

Can I leave a company after just 3 weeks of joining?

This was the job I so badly wanted. It's WFH. The actual work hasn't begun. Training phase is going on. It's not even training. They've sent me some material to read and learn. That's it. I don't know any of my colleagues well. I just hear their voices on teams meet. I feel like quitting already.

Hey guys, i'm planning to switch my company after 8 months in the company and there is a notice of 2 months so that would be 10 months in the company. I feel out of place here, though I have delivered so far (6 months) because i'm picking tasks which I know, I don't know how long it will last. I'm stuck in a client project and i'm scared that if I get something I don't know and I don't deliver, I'll be yelled at. I'm looking for companies with good work life balance and culture, non client work. Below are the companies I know which have good culture

1. SAP labs
2. NatWest Group
3. Fidelity International
4. American Express


Do you guys know any other good companies with good culture, work life balance and preferably non client work.

Got a job but now got another offer at 80% hike. What’s the best excuse to leave the job?

Don't give an excuse, have an honest conversation. Believe it or not, Honesty is the policy, even in these times

I joined as a fresher and my company has a policy for 3 months notice period. 
I am planning to switch, but 3 months seems too much.
If anyone has any past experience, would be a great help.

3 months notice period

Recently joined a new company and somehow I’m not able to vibe with people and work. I know it’s too early to say but still something is not matching up.
Any idea how to tackle this situation or should I start looking for a new job which might take 6 months to 1 year we never know.

Trying to switch

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I’ve been insufferable at work since 2-3 months now. Total time at my company- 6mo 21 days. Profile - Product Management 
My engineering team seems to be taking no ownership and always have their brahmastra ready that it didn’t come from product’s side. QA again is so great that I have to sit and thoroughly test each release end to end. 
My manager- he’s quite interested in taking my career fwd as a project manager. (I am not) He’s a total asshole and is quite concerned with start dates and end dates of tasks ( mind you, I am not the one actually writing the code but somehow the dates are my responsibility). He totally micromanages and somehow keeps blaming me for each small thing.
Examples:
- My engg team isn’t taking ownership: “you aren’t keeping them motivated enough”
- This isn’t a last minute change : “Do you attend standups? You aren’t communicating well”
- The QA tested and approved it, hence we released it. : “But did you test it? “
- Here are the release notes. : “This looks too jazzy, did you copy from GPT”
- Here are the release notes. : “This looks too basic, did you not copy from GPT”

I could go on forever. 

Gust: I am quite unhappy and is causing me unnecessary stress everyday. Also I don’t feel there’s a solution possible

Should I rage quit?

Is it okay if I leave a company just 2-3 days after joining? What would be the impact?

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.

How to deal with 3 months notice period

I’m having a terrible time with my current role and company. I've a joining bonus, which i'll have to return in case i quit within 18mos, but i'm so done, and ready to return the amount.

Hiring market isn't great right now, and looks like it will remain like this for next 6-8mos. I don't want a hike in my next role, just a decent wlb, and a good boss. 

What should i do? my notice period would be in range of 20-40 days, depending on how my manager reacts.
