Resignation without offer - good idea ?
Hello everyone! I have 8 years of experience as a software QA and am currently looking for job opportunities outside my company. I’ve been applying to jobs regularly on platforms like Naukri and LinkedIn, but unfortunately, I haven’t received any responses yet. I believe this might be due to my 90-day notice period. 🤔 I’m considering resigning without having another offer in hand. What are your thoughts on this? Is it a good idea? Looking forward to your valuable insights!
Just tell companies it is 30 days and try
If they start interviewing you then, resign
Since your hypothesis would be correct.
But if you still don't get calls it means that you need to hold your job tight because market is bad

Agreed with this, you can interview and keep reducing notice period
Saying I have already resigned is a red flag from recruiter POV
Even if you get a job towards end of notice period, you will still have some days to relax before starting work
Could definitely use that time to rejuvenate
P.S. Market is very risky, but if you have good work and network - maybe shouldn’t be a problem

As @CharmingDarkness and @BiryaniEnthu have mentioned you can try with less notice period to understand where you stand in the market.
If you still don't get many calls then it isn't necessary that the market is that bad, but you can identify what can be the other culprit here (e.g. cv, cover letter, unoptimised LinkedIn profile, your skillsets, etc).

Not a good idea in this market. Very Risky.

don’t try bro this time is really bad for IT
Another alternative is you can tell them you can try negotiating buy out with your current employer while they get the interview process started, and once you have made a lasting impression on the recruiter even if you cant negotiate or worse theres no provision to do so, your new employer would wait. This is only if you are sure enough to beat the competition and leave them feeling they cant get better than you.

The moment you do it you loose all the bargaining power in interview
