Pick up freelance projects instead on platforms like upworks. 

The problem isn't of the relieving letter but of your provident fund account - you'll have 2 contributors on it. That's trackable by your companies.

Product Owner

Start talking to recruiters. Apply aggressively, take leaves if possible (or better use it during interviews).

Do little work, improve visibility in current org, send out lot of mails. You’ll end up getting avg rating. 

Don’t leave the job before finding the next one. You can also explore freelancing route.

What do you mean by "improve visibility"?  I talk to manager on daily basis over chat either for updates or other kind of help.

Software Engineer

Software Developer

Start applying to new companies for sure. It’s important to keep understanding your worth and for that important to keep applying and interviewing

And if I get an offer, what would I say about experience letter or release letter? Will I fake it or delay it?

Tips to do moonlighting

Data Scientist

I've resigned and our co-founder gave me an offer, where I'll be officially released but I have to work after office hours & will get paid accordingly (for temporary period) 
I'm sorta inclined towards the offer, I'll get some extra money + the work load isn't much, I can do it along with my day job. 


Now what are the factors I should take care of while finalizing this decision? How to make sure my bgc remains clean or something?

How the payment will happen? Ofc they will propose me something, but I wanna be prepared from my side as well. 

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any input, about anything I've written or about moonlighting in general. 


PS: I'm also okay declining the offer, except the fact the company will suffer, which I don't want to (as we are very small team), and I genuinely want it to be successful.

How to moonlight?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I'm currently working on an FTE job - wherein the offer letter its mentioned "During the term of your employment with the Company, you may not engage in any employment or act in any way, which either conflicts with your duties and obligations to the Company, or is contrary to the policies or the interests of the Company."

Now, I'm getting enough time and I want to consider working in a 0-1 startup, and the new company I'm joining will know about my current employer - The above mentioned is the only clause the current employer have regarding working in other company. Can the current employer legally put a case anytime in the future if they get to know this? - what are the loopholes I can use here?

What position I can join in as (Consultant, Advisory role) - Still an early career professional in order to avoid conflict afterwards.

Thank you for your help!!

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am currently facing a situation where there is an overlap in my previous pf service history. However, I have a correct and accurate relieving letter. How should I address this overlap issue professionally, especially when presenting my employment history to a new employer or during background checks?

How can I handle overlapping proof of employment while ensuring my relieving letter is accurate?

I do freelancing/contract work while working full time in a company. Is it good idea to mention those works in LinkedIn profile, specially considering it may bring more freelance work if anyone sees it or not?

Is it good idea to put freelancing work on LinkedIn

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I'm typing this out as a way of collecting my thoughts and feeling a bit normal to take myself through the day. Context: I have been working with a small b2b IT firm for the last 1.5 years, and resigned yesterday. This was my first job straight out of MBA and it has sucked the soul out of me to say the least. The notice period is 3 months and I am really unsure how will I survive it considering that I'm already completely drained. 

I do not want to list out the reasons of how this place has been toxic for me because I also carry a lot of self doubt if it was really the toxicity of the place or my own incapability to handle the work. I do not have any offer in hand, and haven't started a job search either. Just wanted to put this out there to see if people here in the community have been in a similar situation in their professional lives and how did they figure out the uncertainty, was it a good decision for them in retrospect and if they have any tips for me to deal with this better, with less anxiety.

Panic after resigning from a toxic workplace

First of all congratulations! You're out of that hell hole how and you can now recover and realign.  
  
 Second - You'll be okay. Anxiety tricks you into thinking the worst possible thing will happen to you. It convinces you that it's the only possible outcome.  
  
 I'd say the first couple of days - just be. Do what you want. Decide that in the first week you'll consciously do nothing job related - the one you left and the one you should find. You'll need this time to feel like yourself again. Do things that bring you calm and joy. Nothing to big, could be as simple as a walk or making your favourite kind of sandwich.  
  
 After a week - do the following things : 
 1. List out every single thing you did at this job  
 2. Use this info to update the CV - it'll take multiple iterations. Send it to people for feedback, ask them to be candid, use chatgpt whenever relevant  
 3. Make a list of companies you want to work with  
 4. Visit their portal and other job portals 
 5. Find relevant jobs  
 6. Find people in your circle who can refer you. If you do not know any reach out to people on LinkedIn. Send request to multiple people to have a big top of the funnel  
 7. Simultaneously write down questions that you might be asked in an interview 
 8. Meet people you like  
 9. Do some kind of work out 
 10. Apply to jobs with referal 
 11. Repeat  
  
 Remember - you'll be okay.

Moonlighting Notice

Senior Data Engineer

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.

DevOps Engineer

I've to submit it to join another company and i am time bound 
I left his company due to lot of work pressure and stress 
What can i do?

Guys the CEO of startup isn't giving my relieving letter and has blocked me everywhere.

Operation Manager

I have all the proofs, call recordings, rule book, etc which states "I can either serve 3 months notice, or buyout the 3 months with pay, without any reasons asked", but now the  HR is stating the policies have changed, and you will have to follow the new rules. We haven't been informed about the rule changes nor did we sign any new rule book. What should I do? I want to get a buyout without any trouble.

Company not offering to get me buyout, despite clearly mentioning in offer letter that I can exercise buyout anytime without any reason

Hey, I am earning 7 lakh per annum after 5 YOY. I have an offer letter of 11 lpa. I know I can be offered packages up to 14 lpa in a couple of weeks. I am underpaid in my current company. 

However, I don't want to make a switch right now. I am very sure about it. The job is pretty good. My manager is a kind and learned man, I am learning quite a lot. Plus the job is not hectic and it is allowing me moonlighting (secretly). I earn around 1 lakh per month through moonlighting.

How should I request/urge/encourage my company to offer me a hike of 25% to 30%. The company will most likely offer me a hike of 10% to 15%. 

I will make a switch after 6 months (2 years of experience with this company). There is quite a lot of instability on my CV. My main idea is to be here till 2 years and increase my base here to 9 lpa. 

I am a good or maybe exceptional performer. My performance was rated 4.50/5

Please help!

Digital Marketing

Currently I’m a software engineer in corporate. But now my company has full demotivated environment and I’m not able to work or deliver my tasks.
I’m applying for other companies also . But don’t even get interviews scheduled.

What should i do?
Should i go for govt jobs also?
Should i resign first then decide?
Should i continue working ?
Should i think about career switching?

My brain itself is not braining , and filled with such thoughts.

What to do?

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?
