Skilled Worker / Tier 2 visa 🐠: when changing jobs when would you quit yoir current role? After CoS is issued? After the application is successful?
I have quite a long notice period, but want to reduce the risk of being left without a job as much as possible in case current firm decides to end my employment early. TIA!

It really depends on how much risk you want to take/if you want to burn any bridge with your current company. Usually the lawyer would suggest you not submitting notice until you have new visa in hand, but it’s not always practical.

I quit my job 2 weeks ago after signing offer/initiating the CoS application process with new company as I have a rigid 3 months notice period. Still in the process of getting CoS but I’m fairly confident it will go through.

I also have enough emergency fund in the bank so am happy taking the risk of any (extremely unlikely) delay (the worst case would be 8-10 weeks for a new CoS, then another 8+ weeks for visa application if your new company doesn’t pay for priority service).

After the application is successful. Companies can pay for an expedited application review (24hrs) so if they already have a CoS available, it won't postpone your start date by much

Anyone ever negotiate an amicable exit from a startup? The context: been working for an 8-year old unicorn startup. Been there for close to 1.5 years. The culture is terrible. The CEO is a paranoid psychopath. My role changed immediately after I accepted the offer. I was setup for complete failure. No support. Absent leadership. Zero resources to get anything done. I’m done, not worth my mental health. But don’t want to walk away with nothing. Can exits be negotiated? Is this common?
