This is why I secretly avoid 1:1s with my manager!
Hello All, I have one question. I was a fresher and joined one organization as external employee with third party payroll. I worked as external payroll for 1 year then I became permanent employee of organization was working. When i was a fresher my salary was below tax slab so my external exployer did not generate any form 16 for me. When tried to switch my new organization wants me to submit form 16 as BGC process.

Wait for the offer. Common sense > emotion
Unless you have enough saved up to potentially go 6-12 months without a job, I’d wait. It’s hard to put a price on job security and even if you have enough saved up, once you burn through it you’re back to zero. Hard to put a price on job security
Don’t. Quit. Without. New. Job. Lined. Up.
You will be going through your savings.
Firms will possinot treat you as being as much of a priority, because, hey, you are not working & so they have all the leverage.
When not working, you will not be as “game sharp”, and if it stretches 6-12 months, a real funk can set in.
I’m for whatever makes you happy.
You’re never more employable than when you’re in another job. Do not walk without your next gig lined up. Even if you have the money to swing the gap the longer the timing between jobs the harder it gets both financially as well as to explain in your next interview
Depends on your financial situation and comfort level with uncertainty! If you can afford to be without an income for a while, it can be a good way to clear your head and refocus on what you want. But if the thought of not having a paycheck for several months makes you anxious, you could end up feeling pressured to take the first job offered vs waiting for the right job. Good luck!
Do not quit. I was in a similar situation dealing with a difficult ECD who made my life miserable. I readjusted my thinking and started viewing my agency as a place that was paying me and providing benefits while I did my job search. It’s semantics, I know, but it helped me get through until I found a new position. (Note: You still need to put in the effort at the agency because it’s the right thing to do.)
I was in a really awful position and quit my job without having one lined up. I was unemployed for five months. It felt like an eternity. I will never do that again.
If the place is really toxic, it may be worth getting out sooner than later. You can stink of desperation just as bad trying to leave a toxic place as trying to leave unemployment (and nobody wants desperate, in dating, jobs or otherwise).
If you do leave before having something else lined up, have a solid cover story as to why being unemployed was a better option (e.g. it was a mini sabbatical and you did something really awesome that refreshed your outlook and changed your worldview) and demonstrate you did something positive with the time other than binging Netflix. When something does come along, make sure it's the right thing and not just some thing.
