Just accepted an offer to join the industry and put in my papers. The notice period is pretty long (2 months), but i love it cause i still get to work on cool stuff with awesome colleagues without all the anxiety and politics. Anyone else in the notice gang?

Yep I gave a BIT more notice than usual (4 weeks) and it’s been great. My last day is May 7.

I am actually pretty busy (finishing up a project, have a ton of KT sessions) but what I like is that giving notice has made me a lot bolder with regards to reaching out to people. Totally feel you on shedding useless anxiety and politics. Trying to maintain this kind of boldness in my next gig!

Congrats, that’s the cool period to be in. Interested to know how did you get to industry, all I get is calls from consulting firms.

The hiring manager reached out to my colleague at first, but he wasn’t interested in relocating for the role, so he put them onto me - so was pretty lucky. I also mostly get approached by consulting firms

For anyone asking why the notice is so long, I’m in singapore and the norm here is 1-2 months

Hi fishes,

Completed Google on-site around 2 weeks ago. Yesterday the recruiter reached out to me saying she has ‘updates’ and wanted to connect today. I sent her some slots to connect and she did not reply. When I reached out today, she said she is overwhelmed with work and wants to connect after the long weekend. I have no option but to wait for 4 days now.
What do you guys think the reason for this delay could be? Is recruiter purposely buying time? Or she could truly be overwhelmed? Thoughts?
