I highly recommend that you have something in hand before resigning. It is much easier to find a job when you are employed. Otherwise, you will have to tell a story about why you chose to leave, and there may be lingering questions about whether you were pushed. Just my $.02

Agreed. Try to stick it out. I know it's soul-sucking, but I've quit a horrible job without anything else lined up before and I regretted it. That period of desperately needing to find a new job was so much more stressful than phoning it in at the old job would have been. And that feeling gets even worse when I think about the savings I burned through during that time versus the money I still could have been making.

Hi Fishes,

Most important question:

1. I was on bench in my company since April 2022, So since may I was started looking for the opportunities for better pay but didn't got any offer still attending interviews.
2. In June 2022 i got know that I will have to work on 2 client's project which will be 50% 50% allocation on both sides.
3. I will be getting offer soon from one of the MNC, In that case what should I do?? Should I resign or go ahead with 2 client's project in my organization??

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

How long does it take to get a job , when you actively apply every day for weeks. Or better still how do I do it right?
