Can I tell the new firm I am about to join (received offer) that I have 3 months notice period and in actual serve only 1 month notice.
Will they get to know? I am switching jobs first time (got placed after MBA), so not sure how processes work.

You can. But you can also just say “I can start on date x.” And if they ask why, say you need a little time between jobs.

The answer is never to lie.

Why can’t you just tell them you will join in 3 months? No need to give too many details and make up stuff

Don't lie...

Just tell them when you want to start.

Also 1 month notice is pretty long. I’d just give 2 weeks unless a longer period is in your employment contract.

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job.

I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?
