Teleperformance doubt- Grapevine

I'm working at toxic environment. Since I don't have any responsibility and can take care of myself until I find next job I was planning to quit my job without another job at hand. My family doesn't have an issue. But I'm scared if it will be a problem to find another good job as I'll be jobless? I have 6 months gap before joining here for education. I have completed 6 months here and I'm planning to leave. Please advise.

Quitting job without another offer?

UX/UI Designer

Hello GV folks,
I am a sales and marketing professional and I recently quit my job without any offers in hand after being constantly micro managed over the last 5-6 months at an MNC. I have been working in SaaS sales for 3 years now. The environment was just so toxic with mass exodus of employees because of restructuring, cost cuts etc. 
I would highly appreciate if folks can point me on how to go about job search in this difficult market, or towards companies which are hiring. I have a total of 7 years of experience (4 in Solutioning and 3 in sales).

Quit after being constantly micro managed

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hi everyone, I have 2 year of product experience (1.5 year full time & 6 month of internship). I left my past company to start my own venture, though it didn't work out as planned I sold the MVP and joined a startup. It has been 1 week, and I am not liking the culture so I am planning to switch. 

I wanted to know will I be grilled upon why I am leaving so early and will it affect my overall profile? Also what's the general notice period during probation?

Does my profile looks bad if I quit my job during probation

Product Manager

I was recently laid off. I am applying for jobs. One question that has been a bother for me is on my unfortunate past short stints. 
Need help from folks on how to tackle these Q's.
I am applying for product / strategy roles.
2015 - tier 1 engg
2019 - tier 1 MBA
1.5 yrs - did my own startup...fairly successful but later failed due to covid
11 months - worked in a fairly well known fast growing startup - left coz wanted to move to a product centric startup
14 months - worked in product based big unicorn startup - got laid off
10 months - joined an early stage startup - startup failed and laid off again

What should be my interview strategy? How do I portray my story in a positive light?

How to tackle interview Q's on my short stints?

I am thinking of leaving my current job and focus on myself, getting to know myself better etc. Currently I have enough money saved for my expenses for next 6-8 months. 
   Everyone I have asked about this say don't leave your job if you don't have another lined up, in this tech winter. I understand their view point. It aligns with what my parents think as well.

Is there anyone who has had done this in the past? Do you recommend this route? Are the consequences far too severe? Does anyone have a different opinion from one stated above?

Anyone ever left job without having another job lying around for their mental peace?

I'm in the same boat, on the verge of quitting, and will most probably take the leap next month.  
 Thanks for the thread. A lot of insights. It has made me confident that I'm not doing anything stupid.

In my BGV process it was found that I was a junior DS in one of the previous orgs. In my resume I mentioned it as just DS, without the 'junior'.
The HR has informed this has come up as a red flag from the BGV company.

This is weird. Has this ever happened to anyone and will this lead to termination? If yes, do they also ask to pay back the salaries? I have already worked for 3 months here.

Question on background verification

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am currently working for a startup for about 3 yrs now and they made me sign a non compete which states that I cannot join a similar domain work for 2 yrs post termination. I am currently in my notice period and have received an offer from a company in a similar domain with good pay and benefits, what should I do?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Some context.
Worked at an early stage startup around 1.5 years ago. This startup works in the Computer Vision space and does a lot of experiments(no direction at all, will take some project from some fintech company one day, some project from healthcare, and then some project from some random company, basically these go nowhere), I worked with one of the projects that involved document processing and it got some revenue.

At my last day, I was made to sign some agreement which included non compete.

1.5 hears later, today, I’ve joined a startup that works in FinTech domain and has been doing pretty good, and they sent a BGV check to my previous employer, and those guys are saying they won’t do BGV and that I’m violating the non compete agreement. They think entire world is their competitor, honestly, they’re nothing and no one even gives a fuck about their existence.

What can I do here?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Currently working in service sector 4.3yrs of experience and 3.26lpa is my package.
Since I am from bca background they put me in bps (bpo).  Currently working in react project.
Now got selected for a product based company for 8lpa.
In 4.3 years I took 2 years leave without pay for my higher studies and returned back to same organisation.
The problem is I didn't inform this to new organisation.
They have initiated my bgv. Really afraid will they find this out and revoke the offer?
They asked me to submit my pf passbook .
Is it okay to submit my 6 month payslip as it also contains the pf details?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

So I work in a new york based startup and they hired me as project manager. I am from tech bg with 1 year of experience and no mgmt experience. Completing 2 years in this company and have created processes from scratch to increase team size and team dynamics. There was one conversation which HR heard out of context and started politics with CEO. Now in my review their "trust" overshadowed my "performance". They even out of nowhere telling my leaves were not judiciary! Now i don't trust this company anymore. Already my managers were too underperforming and disappointing. 

There were many scenarios where I took in charge of anyone's absence and even in my absence took care of things. 

They giving NO raise !!! Not even something to match inflation!

I am feeling very exhausted with company's policy and CEO being nosy in each and everything. And too disappointed in company's "trust" definitions.

Talked to my manager and cleared out my performance. Talking to CEO in next days to reclarify their issues. 

Any help or word of advise???

Disappointed!!

What was your shortest stint at a company? If you wanna share the reasons behind and did it impact your overall resume/career?

Your shortest stint and its impact on your career?

So I was laid off a couple of months back and the organization was forcing me to resign. I countered their basis of decision and was able to get my severance instead of notice. Further, they were asking me to serve a reduced notice but I opposed saying this is a layoff/termination from organization’s side and was out in a week. As a result they have deliberately put things like “his performance was average” in the experience letter. 

Can someone help me with how to deal with this situation for prospective employers? 

P.S: I do not want to go the legal route with my prev org and want to focus on the next prospects so if any HR in the network can help with some advice, that would be great.

Any HRs here who can help out with a situation concerning previous employer & negative experience letter

So today I received an offer from a startup that is giving me a pretty good 50% jump on my current base. It's not a well-known startup but during my interview i noticed certain red flags, the way they were interviewing, very arrogant and got a lot of micro-managing vibes from them, expect designs to delivered very quickly.

While the money is very good, I'm skeptical if I should accept it or not? What would you guys do in such a situation? I am working currently

Got a job offer with almost 50% increase in my base but I'm not sure because the company seems toxic. What should I do? The company seems almost desperate to hire

I recently joined an early age startup but that place was nothing what they told it’d be. So I decided to quit in 2 weeks. 

I now have an offer from a listed organisation and I am joining on Thursday. However, I haven’t told them about the last 15 days I spent at this startup and have submitted relieving of the last 2 orgs I worked with for 2 yrs each. 

Can there be a problem later?

What to do? Pls suggest guys

Disappointed after overperformance!!

Context- I am at a startup with salary and allowances not being paid for almost 6 months now. I plan on to quit within the next 10 days (it’s very scary). How do I ensure that they don’t fuck me over with my dues and make it a painful process? 
What are the things I need to ask for in my resignation mail?
