Hi Guys,
I just learnt that I'm being promoted to the next level this coming July but I have already planned to exit as I have enrolled myself into a master's degree program outside India. The course begins on Sept 6th which means I have to exit before August 21st.

Should I inform my manager yet? Or wait till I get my visa processed? In that case which date would be feasible to resign?

Please help. TIA

Do recruiters and Hiring Managers actually review and read resumes? Also tech companies that sell SaaS, what is it with the requirements of having 10 years or more if technical sales experience? Also the ramp up period is not realistic. Average sales cycle for a reputable SaaS provider is 12-24 months. How on earth a start up can state that their ramp up period is 90 days? The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.
