I recently joined a company and it has been 1.5 months there and the total probation is for 3 months and the manager has made it clear to me in the starting that they can let me go off during probation anytime easily. But when I looked at the offer letter there was no provision for me to do the same. My actual problem with this company is that they make you sit in the office and complete the general shift timing which is 9 hours. Also there is an opening in Blinkit for sde1(android) on instahyre for which I want to apply as I am in love with their product and getting an opportunity to work for that product is like a dream for me.
So should I take this move and apply at other org and move from here during probation
Yes, it is completely fine to switch during probation. Just have a reasonable and diplomatic answer prepared if current HR asks for the cause of leaving, and future HRs ask the cause of switching so soon. Please don't tell any HR the actual reason, truth doesn't leave a good impression unfortunately.
Also, never resign before having an on-paper/on-email official offer letter. So feel free to keep applying, once you secure a better offer and job role, quit - be it probation or not.
Also just a suggestion, whenever I switch it's for the following reasons- toxicity, salary, learning. If you feel 1.5 months is enough to make the decision to switch, please go ahead. But do give this a thought as well.
@ganeshgaitonde this post helps me as well, thanks.
@batman_007 I've switched recently as well - on probation. The work life balance is poor and I'm looking out again. Would be very helpful to hear your thoughts on how I can be diplomatic while speaking to HRs. Earlier I've stayed almost 3 years on a company - so I'm not really a hopper.
My current salary is good, but i feel bored sitting idle just to complete working hours and commute also takes 4 hours daily
