Haven't done it myself. 
 But I would suggest to get a draft agreed right now till the memories are fresh (in terms of what you did and what you achieved in company). 
  
 If they are not used to writing LOR, they will struggle to provide it in right structure (hence need to provide draft). 
  
 And inform them, if you decide to pursue MBA and need LOR , you will share back the draft agreed so that they can fill it up (I think these days usually they have to write it in online portals)

Ask now.
I had requested them to write one during last week before leaving.
It's been 2 years, didn’t get them.
Even reminded them once over messages.

I’m on my notice right now and plan on going for an MBA sometime after a couple of years. Should I request my current employer to provide me a LOR right now, before I’ve moved on? Or should I just inform them right now and take it when I’m actually applying to B Schools? 
Also also, what should the format of the LOR be?

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

Hi everyone, I have joined service based company 3 months ago and I’m in the initial stages of my career. I am planning for my MS in US in 2024. The days are approaching, I need to get LOR from 1 manager atleast.

How do I ask them about writing an LOR for me? They will for sure ask for a reason and I’m scared about their reaction of me leaving the company a year later since they’ve invested their time and efforts in training me. I have no past internships done, otherwise I would get LOR from ex- manager. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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've been working as a React developer for almost 3 years (2 years, 9 months) plus had a 3-month internship. I'm looking to make a career move to a company that offers better mentorship and growth opportunities, but my current job requires a 3-month notice period before leaving. 

I'm struggling with a few aspects of navigating this job change given the long notice period:

1) Finding Companies Open to Waiting
How do I identify companies that would be willing to wait the full 3 months for me to start after giving notice? When and how should I bring up the notice period requirements during the application/interview process?

2) Getting Referrals
My professional network is somewhat limited. What are the best ways to try securing internal referrals to companies I'm interested in, which could help increase flexibility around waiting for my start date?

3) Preparing for Interviews  
Besides the standard technical preparation, what is the best way to practice for and respond to questions about my reasons for leaving my current role after such a long tenure? How can I reassure them I'm committed despite the extended notice period?

4) Evaluating Offers
If a company is unwilling to wait the full 3 months, is it worth trying to negotiate a shorter notice period or looking at temporary/contracting roles until I can start full-time? How do I evaluate whether the role is worth that hassle?

I want to be as prepared as possible for this transition, so any advice or suggestions from folks who have gone through a job change with a long notice period would be greatly appreciated! Let me know what you think or if you have any other tips.

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.

When looking for better opportunities post accepting an offer, is it good to tell recruiters that you are on a notice period when asked? 

Do recruiters consider good or bad? And how to reason why still looking for opportunities?

Is it good to tell recruiters that you are on a notice period?

I’m graduating this year from an IIT. I didn’t participate in any research activities and was busy doing internships to support my family financially.
I will be joining a company and plan to stay in the industry for atleast 2 years to pay off my student loan.
I wanted to know is it possible for me to join a reputed institute like CMU for my masters without any previous research experience, and how i prepare my profile during these 2 years.

I have received an official communication to initiate the process of L1B visa. I have heard rumours that companies initiate and help you in getting the visa but when it comes to actually sending you to US they delay the travel by 3 months citing budget constraints.

Anybody have heard or experienced this in their organisation? 

P.S. On the sidelines, I have secured and offer letter which is 2X my current CTC.

I wanted to hear from this community, what would you do in this case? Considering L1B rumours mighty be some strategy to retain employees.

L1B Visa: Trap or reality??

Hey All

I graduated in 2021 out of DU and parallely converted my internship with a preseries A fintech startup for a full-time role, pay was less that what I would've got in campus placements, but I prioritised steep learning curve or a 15k per month salary difference.

After spending 15 months reporting directly to the ceo in a 150 member team, I resigned. Initially the pace was enjoyable, later on it became toxic.

Moved to Bangalore and joined another start-up, didn't take a huge hike since I just wanted to start somewhere. After working here for 7 months, now I have much for focussed idea on what my strengths are and I'm working with experienced folks (avg 8+ years). I'm a 22 year old working in the founding team of pretty good product startup (funded by Kunal and bunch of other angels).

Currently I'm at 6LPA, and would reach a 12LPA in thr next 3-4 months subject to fundraise, what I would like an opinion on is if after completing an year and we don't raise a round, do I stay? Or do I go back home and prepare for Gmat or CAT, then do aan expensive MBA by taking a loan? Or do I find another startup asking for a 12LPA? or do I try for a established company role in program management or partnerships or something?

I don't have any family money or business to fall back on, but fortunately I didn't take a loan for my education yet, and my parents would be okay to give me another 2 more years to figure things out.

Would appreciate help from anyone who've been in a similar journey or just any piece of advice.

Thanks!

I have received the call from IIM Bangalore for their PGP program and as part of the application form I am required to get reference from my manager/team lead.

Can someone elaborate what all pointers should be covered in the reference letter? Will give me a sense of what to request my manager while asking him to fill the referral form.
