Always resign only when you have offer in hand. Right now market is not that good so you are taking too much pressure on your self once you are at the end of your notice period..

Because if there is gap in your employment to get a job is more difficult....

Best wishes to you.. hope you will find a good opportunities..

My last company also have 90 day notice period and this time also. And I got the offer both the time..

Again, there are n number of scenarios if the company culture is toxic, the environment is not supporting, there is too much work load/pressure, there is no growth, and many more so in this case, some times we have to resign from that company and after resigning in serving notice or after serving notice until we get a job, we can enhance our skills as well.

I resigned from my company on Dec 4, without any offers, with a 60days notice. I was in bench as my project got ramped down once the application was ready and no more funding was provided by client for that project.
I was confident with my skillset and was attending interviews with a confirmation that I can be relieved within 15 days as I was not having any assignments in my current company.
Many companies agreed and I attended arrund 25 interviews starting from Nov last week till January 1st week.
My official last day was feb 1 but I got an early release by Jan 20 once I knew I got the right job for me.
I searched for my job through naukri, I had updated my data as 15 to 30 days joinee, so I got many calls.
It will work out if you are confident in your skill set and if they are relevant to current openings.
For exmple I am a QA - and most jobs were asking for Java Selenium, Rest assured, cucumber, bit of a test/team lead role handling juniors, and above 5 years automation exp. I had all these and my profile was matching for most of the job posts.
Similarly you can test the waters by just modifying your profile in Naukri and see if you are getting calls, if you are getting them then confidently apply resignation and try it with full focus.
If you are working in a project then it will be tough to prepare, but take time and do it if you are able to, you will get a good opportunity outside.
If you are in bench then it's very convenient to get one.

Note - I did very bad in my initial interviews, but as I attended more interviews it got easy to navigate through the questions. I was asked to write programs and I stuttered in the interviews even if I had practised that code prior, but through the last few interviews I got selected in 5 of the service companies. Initially we would feel we are trash, but slowly we will know we can do it, just look ahead and don't even mind about failed interviews. Only thing is to remember every question and note it down and google it after the interview, coz most of the interview questions are repetitive, and we can do better in the next one.

All the best, if you are good enough you will get your next job no matter what, good luck to you.

If you have 2 or 3 months notice period, chances are high that you don't get any calls for interview. So show Notice period 1 month or less and as soon as u will get any good offer, Negotiate with current comapany for buyout option.

I love the way everyone telling their story. It really gives hope I'm not alone in this❤

Yes, I did it took me 5 months . But worth the delay

next month

Why does that matter? Someone can take weeks to get offer, someone may need years...

I did once. My NP was 90 days so no one calling back. Last month of LWD I was getting so much calls. I will suggest to rebrush your skills you may get offers asap during NP.

Worst decision of my life took me 3 months and I had to compromise on my salary to get a job

After leaving the company with no offer, I landed the next job in 3 months

It took me 2 months, I resigned in Dec 2023 and got 2 offers in Feb 2024 and a better offer in March 2024. It depends on market conditions and specific tech demands at a certain period.

2 months, But let me tell you one thing straight away, If you got bills to pay and expense to manage. trust me that period will not be easy to pass on!!!!

Yes I have. last 20 days left

Any offer?

Hey, Yes I've been there & done that. With a good 2 months break, I got a better opportunity & something I really liked to work upon.

Yes i have recently resigned as seni psychologist without any offer its been 1 month i an still searching for the job.

yes i have done twice


I don't know what to say.

When I was working and attending interviews, most companies wanted someone who could join within 10–15 days. The moment I mentioned that I had a 90-day notice period at Wipro, they wouldn’t even schedule my interview.

So, I took a risk and resigned without having an offer in hand. Now, I’m struggling to find a job—my last working day was March 1st.

Once you enter the job market, you realize it's an entirely different ball game. In tech interviews, they ask questions that often have little relevance to the actual job. But regardless of your experience, you still have to prepare for them.

In my opinion, always secure a job before resigning.
I don’t know how, but that should be the approach.

Me, joined as a fresher in hcl and got laidoff with 0 skill , again I learned skills and got placed after 9 months

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
