Wait for promotion in October or take July bonus and leave? I'm so burnt out. It would be nice to get the title but I don't know if I can last that long, and not possible to take leave in between.

I’m considering just leaving before the bonus payout. Not worth it to miss a good ship imo

Leave and just say were “acting” manager or whatever during interviews

Just tell the new firm you are foregoing a bonus and raise and jump ship.

I don't have an offer elsewhere. Thought I'd take a break for a month. Would I still be able to say acting M and say I took a sabbatical or something?

Wait for the promotion and then take your leave. I did that. Worked my ass off, got the promotion and then took 4 months off. Came back refreshed and with a 30% pay bump. Also figure out if you want to quit altogether after you get the promo. But stick it thru for now. Gives you more leverage as you consider your next moves

Hi Team,

I joined Mindtree on 8th Feb and not got project and I was waiting for last 2 and half month. So, i gave interview outside (tech mahindra) and got selected. Almost 30-35% they said they will give and i am negotiating on it.

My main concern was shift and i have some health issues and unable to continue in night shift in Mindtree and tech mahindra its purely EMEA shift and per project team update.

Shall i switch to tech Mahindra?

Why is it so difficult to make the next career move within your OWN company. I have over 7 years of experience across multiple departments and yet an external company is more willing to give an interview to select roles than your own home company for the same role internally!!

Where is the loyalty in that !!??
