Hi Fishes,

I am not satisfy with the project tech stack and project itself in
FIS Global . I recently joined in mid February and thinking to resign now.

If I give resign and serve notice period of 1 month as per the mentioned in appointment letter then FIS Global will give me the Relieving letter or not ???

I am so worried to take relieving letter that FIS will give or not as I didn't start actual work and since 1.5 months only just getting KT trainings on product.

Kindly suggest
