Question for LinkedIn coworkers. Has anyone moved from full time to the new part time arrangement that was announced a while back? I have a side gig that’s grown in scope and thinking about moving away from FT, though I don’t really want to start conversation blind. Thanks in advance! 🙏

I must have missed an email, I didn't know this was even an option.

It was announced last year as we were adjusting to Covid. I suspect it was meant as an option for parents who needed to decrease their workload during shutdown.

Is that one of those things, like unlimited time off, that actually turns out to be too good to be true? Personally, I think you should go for it if it isn't going to do any major harm. I'm all about taking advantage of all opportunities.

Thanks! Yeah, I’m thinking it could be a good option, if there aren’t too many strings attached.

Is it a good idea to tell your manager intentions of leaving?

Recently had my review and it didn’t go how I expected. No raise, no promotion. I expressed disappointment but took the criticism I was given to reach my goal in 6 months or a year.

However, there are a number of issues that bother me enough where I want to move on.

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.

I recently joined company A on an H1b. Because of the immigration team's mistakes, we had to re-file and it took almost 4months for me to join from the date of the offer. As this was getting dragged on, I interviewed at two companies (let's call them Company B and C). After I started at company A, I received offers from both of them with 30% more TC. If I accept one of these offers, that H1b transfer will take another 2months. Will resigning from A burn the bridges? How should I handle this?
