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
This is a clever way of thinking.
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.
Market is tough. I put my papers without any offer in hand. 2 months have passed and so far I have given 2 interviews and I failed both of them. But hustling and applying actively in naukri, getting referral wherever possible.
don’t try bro this time is really bad for IT
I am an AWS cloud developer with a python background. Just wanted to know if it is safe to resign from an existing company without having any offer letter in hand ? I get calls for an interview but as my notice period is of 90 days so mo...
Is it a good idea to resign and start serving notice if i am about to get an offer ? I mean, i already have one. I just haven't got the actual offer letter but the new company has started background check for which I have received the mail.
I have been trying hard to switch but not getting any calls for an interview. I am suspecting now that maybe this 3 month notice period is slowing down the process.
So my ask is should I resign and then try to find job, so that other co...
