Is there any financial difference in the two options? What will full and final settlement look like? 
  
 From what I can understand, you might have to look for a job in either case. Do you want to resign and make it a certainty or hang on to the sabbatical with some chance of getting your job back if you want? 
  
 I think the reason they're offering a sabbatical is to have a backup candidate in case they aren't able to fill your vacancy in 3 months. They might also contact you for help during these 3 months but you wouldn't be under a lot of obligation to do it (except maybe holding your full and final settlement).

No, there is no financial implication, the sabbatical is unpaid, and obviously I won't get paid after my last date since I quit. My concern is about my future job roles, how do HRs at new jobs view sabbaticals, especially due to a medical condition? 
  
 Also during my sabbatical, if I don't respond to them if they need my help, could there be any consequences for me, I honestly would not want any distractions during exams, the reason I quit in the first place.

Take sabbatical.  
  
 It's received much friendlier by recruiters and future employers.

Hi everyone 

I'm preparing for my MBA, and to focus on my exams, I decided to quit my job last week 

 My company the offered me a 3month unpaid sabbatical, end date falls after my exams, so that I can study, but after these 3months, my job may or may not be confirmed, chances are high for the latter

I have a medical problem which recently aggravated, and the company stated that they can provide the necessary documentation for my extended leave using this.

I just wanted to check, what would be the  better option, to continue with my decision of quitting or taking the sabbatical leave. Will the Sabbatical leave on grounds of medical reasons effect my job hunt down the line?

My fear is that during my sabbatical, they will have the flexibility to contact me as and when necessary.

Does an extended Sabbatical leave of 3months, show up in your leaving certificate or hurt your chances for future job roles?

Planning to take an unpaid sabbatical due to health reasons, employer has agreed for the same, just need to understand this aspect.

Does it also count as work experience?

Technical Lead

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hello All, 

I am in the middle of my notice period every thing is going fine and going to join Big 4 coming October. 

Recently past few months I started to realize that I don't belong and feeling any happier in IT Domain but at the same time I have financial responsibilities towards my home which my job fulfills. 

It's not like I started hating software engineering  there are couple of personal reasons and somewhat company culture which I don't like. 

Thing is in this harsh job market getting a good pay is not easy hence I m trapped in the cycle. 

What I have decided is to join the next company one of the Big 4. Can anyone advice do they provide a mental health or some sort of sabbatical leave so that I can manage my thoughts and take necessary steps if my mental health peaked out? 

Any advice or suggestion is highly appreciated.

Folks I need your inputs please. I am a single parent to two kids and have a full time job which is basically the only financial source and now WFH is ending and my problem is:

1. With the role n responsibilities i am fully booked for office work and not able to take care of the kids or house like i want to

2. Even if i hire someone like nanny i still thinking of their safety and activities they r doing bcoz i want to engage them is teaching or making them learn spend time with them as they grow be there for them ( bcoz i know how lonely it is to have working parents) so i don’t want them left with nanny bcoz i believe money can be made again but their childhood will not return 

3. Even if i get a WFH role, my time, energy and thinking capabilities will be taken up by the job only again leaving me less energetic, time to care for my kids

4 Everyone is against me leaving the job bcoz that’s the only financial source I have but i want to shift my stream maybe join as a school admin or start a food business that i can handle without much of mental stress but the pay will be way less

So I am looking for something which gives me the time and mental peace to spend and raise my kids with a decent money to meet the needs. 

What can i do???  please tell me any other way out or a guaranteed income source along with being with my kids

Your thoughts plz

Ppl that have taken 3+ months of sabbaticals for burn out have you felt better after that ? I have to take a decision btw sabbatical for 3 months or quitting. While I like my current work place and manager I am not sure if by taking a sabbatical I am forcing myself to feel better in 3 months. This is a troubling attitude I have towards sickness mental or physical where I put a future end date to it and then feel worse off if I don't meet it.

Do you feel better after sabbaticals?

Head Of Marketing

Hey, I'm currently 23 years old  earning a decent 12l.pa with 2.5 years of work ex

I currently do not enjoy my job, constant stress  anxiousness, can't work here for another day.

Planned to do my MBA and preparing for CAT this year and also putting my papers down in a couple of days. Considering I have my exam on the 26th of next month, how long should I keep my  notice period? I'm planning not to work at all once I resign, as the company hasn't been good to me. I can keep my notice a week, but then again I won't have a job in hand and will lose work ex. Need some valuable advise here.

Need guidance please.
2022 passout. 
Currently working as a Cybersecurity Analyst, the project is more like a Technical Support Role. Have to connect with the user and troubleshooting in their laptop if issue required. Here I have to work in 3 different shifts like for morning 5.30 am or from night 9pm to 6.30 am or at afternoon from 2pm and it's changing weekly. And also have to report to the office now in those timings. 
I want to change the domain to different role like backend or frontend or in the same domain I want to switch to a different company.
Is it good to resign without having any other selection ( I am good to sit without any company for 2-3 months)?

If I resign and will sit for 3-4 months without working in any company, does the next company which I will apply for interviews or openings, will not allow me to sit in their interviews? Or would not go with my resume?
And what could else I have to face .

I'm 3 years into my career and currently I'm on a 3 month sabbatical. That's unpaid leave in my org. 

2 mo in, I've been focusing on my health -(gymming, meditating, eating right), travelling and relaxing. Indifferent to weekdays and weekends life feels really nice and happy.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I want to quit my job and take a break. 

I Have been contemplating to do the same for almost an year but decided not to do it. So many things have happened since then

1. Layoff wave started in india
2. Got married
3. Had to move back to bangalore from hometown

Reason I want to quit is I don't feel like working , feeling bored and work doesn't interest me that much. 

I want to take a break chill for a bit but don't have guts to do the same considering market conditions ( what if I don't get a job when I am back in the market😅) 

Please give any advice on how to tackle this situation or if someone has gone through the same, would love to hear your experience. 

Also how is the product hiring currently in India? 

PS:  I do have a good runway for 4-5 months considering all expenses but I am scared to take the step

Program Manager

Currently working as SDE-2 at Amazon, promoted some 1 year back.

I'm totally burned out from work pressure, oncalls, layoff and performance review cycles every 3 months. Thinking of resigning without any offer by June/July.

Will this be the right decision in today's market.
I'll take some 2-3 months rest and start job hunting again, hopefully in better wlb companies.

Just want to enjoy, travel to new places and prioritise my health.
Balding and weight gain are major issues, and i don't think conditions will be improving in Amazon soon.

BUT, the job market is tough, and IDK how it will impact my career 

Is this the right decision or I'm a fool

[Amazon] Resign without offer in recession

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hey folks,

I'm currently working for a US client and I am 100% billable to them if that information matters. According to the offer letter, the notice period is of 90 days but there's a buyback option where one can choose to pay and not serve the notice period. But from what I've heard, it's up to Capgemini to accept that buyback offer or not.

So I've recently received an offer from a Singapore based startup and I told them that I can join in 30 days cuz if I hadn't, they wouldn't have even interviewed me in the first place. 
They're okay with buying back my 1 month and let me serve 30 days but I'm concerned what if Capgemini refuses to let me leave.

What are my options here? Can I tell them that I'm leaving company due to some personal/health issues so I can get an early release. Do I need to involve a lawyer? 

Thoughts please.

Thanks.

Data Consultant

Been 8 damn years of corporavery (Corporate Slavery), oh by the way, 1 year of career break and learnt real life skills equivalent to 5 years of growth in corporate.

So back to point - Sabbatical! 

How easy or hard to be eligible for this? Am I entitled to attain this? Will there be a drawback gap in my Curriculum vitae?

I am craving for it and need to hear positive experiences of sabbatical journeys...
