Why is quitting so hard :( I’m dreading telling my clients. I love them but can’t wait to move on from the management I’m under. My new move is better for me but i always struggle leaving clients I’ve really gotten to know and bonded with

Send an email blast to kind of soften the blow, but in your email, mention that you'd love to speak with them during their free time. This could be over the phone or via video call, etc. Don't diss your old company though! Just make sure they know it was a better opportunity for you and your family.

I can relate so much. Quitting can be so hard. It just shows that you are human and you love the people you work with.

Definitely just stress that you grew past the role you're in now but will use your experience for the next venture, hoping to stay in contact. It was an offer you couldn't refuse!

Trust me you're doing the right thing. You can't stay in a job where you're unhappy just because you're afraid of hurting your clients' feelings. They'll understand. And if they don't well then they're not the kind of clients you want to be working with anyway. Prioritize your own life.

Hi Folks,

Does as anybody help on how much time CitusTech takes to announce results after an interview of an experienced candidate??

3 Things to keep in mind which changing jobs:
1. Always ask dedicated budget for the job before you tell your expectations.

2. Always have atleast 2 weeks of gap before you join any company. You might not understand significance of that but just have a gap.

3. Always talk to people of team you will be joining before you accept offer or atleast before you join company.
