There is no one size fits all answer. I know that's not what you want to hear but it's true. Depends on what you want to do. Also would say it's more important to leave for the right opportunity vs leaving at any specific time. I have friends who left as staff and went on to be successful in industry and I have friends who left as Sr mgrs with the same success. Have also had people leave and get stuck, though that is more likely when you leave younger in my experience. I'm a Sr Mgr and still get calls very regularly from recruiters. Don't let any head hunter scare you into thinking there's some kind of "limit" and you have to "get out now".

Hi guys, urgent suggestion regarding feeling overwhelmed at work

I don't know why but lately since the second wave of the pandemic has started, I have been feeling very overwhelmed at work. My manager is mostly a supportive and smart person but due to recent changes in teams his workload has also increased a bit.

I don't know if its work or just the pandemic but sometimes even looking at emails feels dreadful.

How should I talk to him? Please help. He is OOO next week, I need to do distoday

Hi,

I recently gave interview in Hexaware on October 17th. They sent me the CAF form link to fill on the day of interview itself because I cleared all the rounds. I have filled that form and sent my documents for verification but I still haven't received the offer letter. I didn't resign from my current company because I want to resign after getting the offer letter only. Do they send the offer only if we resign and tell them the LWD? And how long does Hexaware takes to release the offer?
