Better to just get fired. Not sure what firm you work for but at B4 no one can disclose you have been fired. They can only confirmed dates of employment - in case you were asking for future employment concerns.

I would continue to stay while still looking for a new job. Make them fire you so that you get a severance. Being fired isn’t as big of a deal nowadays. You can explain to recruiters and employers that the previous job just wasn’t a good fit and that you’ve agreed with management that it was best to part ways.

PWC 2 hit it right on the head.

However, keep in mind, should you choose the fired route, your severance package may depend on how many years of service you had with the firm. That could vary from at least 2-4weeks or pay.

With that said, if you’re already interviewing, and happen to get a job offer, it could end up all in your favor

Better to quit. Be honest with your manager and say I don’t think it’s a good fit. Would you be fine if I leave early on some days to interview ? That way you can still have a paycheck while you interview.

@senior associate 1 - getting word that I'm getting put on a PIP, which is PA speak for start looking. been on interviews but getting no offers hence and I'm afraid I'd run out of time before the inevitable

Hi Everyone

I see recently due to market demand there are raining jobs even for less than 10 yoe getting above 25 lpa is it safe for the job security in terms of long term serving the company ,am afraid of getting laid off in future whats your thought or advuce on this?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?
