Hi fishes, I'm a software engineer, worked 2 years. I'll soon be resigning to go for masters abroad. However, I still haven't got a visa and enrollment process to University is going on. The semester starts on 30th September. The issues are
1. my company has 90 day notice period
2. There's a huge waitlist on Visa. People who applied in June have booked slots till Sept. July and Aug folks (me) are on waitlist with no indication of any slots release since July 4 from embassy
When should I resign?
