How long after returning from paternity leave is it okay to leave without burning bridges (assuming i have something lined up). Been at the firm about 14 months including leave.

General rule of thumb is that 20 bridges will be burnt if you don’t return. You preserve 1 bridge for every week you stay beyond that. If you end up staying more than 20 weeks you could very well end up with a surplus of unburnt bridges. If you hit a surplus of 39 unburnt bridges you’re allowed to have another baby. Fortunately, an additional surplus of unburnt bridges isn’t required in the event you have twins, triplets, etc. All of this goes out the window of course if you receive a promotion, in which case your unburnt bridge surplus is erased and will need to be built up again. Unfortunately, there’s no way to increase the growth rate of unburnt bridges faster than 1 per week. This includes but is not limited to staying late, helping out with your teammates’ work, organizing social events/office parties, or even just generally performing well. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither are your unburnt bridges.

TLDR; take the new gig

No, it was legit. I’ve just got a lot of free time due to a high surplus of unburnt bridges.

Honestly they don’t care. If they wanted to get rid of you on your first day back do you think they would pause for thought? You do you

Hello Fishs,

I have given 3 rounds of interview for the position of SE- B8 , i.e. Lead SE. Now in salary discussion round i asked HR for a CTC between a range of 31-34L. But they told me max they can give is 29.5L. I still did not accepted the initial offer from HR, it is going again one more round for salary negotiation after HR confirms the bracket from Business. I know Natwest dont negotiate once you accepted the offer. What CTC can i expect from Natwest for Lead SE.

“It turns out that wealth does trickle down, you just have to make them bleed first”

I guess they didn’t like bleeding so they’re trying to manipulate the markets in their favor AGAIN.
