Is it bad to ask a recruiter to put me in the running for a totally different role, alongside the role that I'm semi far along in the running for? The roles are within different companies that share a parent company that the recruiter works for. I've had 2 interviews for the initial role (1 with the recruiter, 1 with the person who would be my boss), and have a 3rd scheduled in the new year. I'm much more interested in the other role though!

100% tell the recruiter - their entire job is to fill seats (preferably with people who will stay), so you’re making their lives easier if there’s multiple options where they can put you

Hey fellow designers,

Is anyone else facing the brunt of working in a service based company and trying to move to a startup product company being dragged down by the 90 days notice period.

I have had a couple of interviews with good startup product companies where the main issue is my 90 days of notice period. Most startups simply run away at the mention of 90 days NP.

Even established product companies shy away at this. Has anyone recently switched despite this long a notice period?

Why is it recommended you give a company 2 weeks notice when you are leaving but at the same time, when they are laying you off/firing you, they typically do it on the spot. I have known countless people layed off/fired on the spot over the years (especially after busy season) and everyone else when they leave give 2 week notice. Why should we relinquish power to corporations? Corporations really don't care about us. They pretend they do.

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?
