Job Offer vs. 90-Day Notice: Dilemma on Reddit
23 Nov
Summary
- Man faces dilemma with MNC offer requiring 35-day join date.
- Current employer mandates a 90-day notice period.
- Reddit users advise against overlapping employment for career safety.
A professional shared a predicament on Reddit, having secured a desirable offer from a major multinational corporation that requires him to join within 35 days. His current employer enforces a 90-day notice period, and despite his attempts to negotiate an early release, even offering to buy out the remaining time, his request was not accommodated.
Seeking guidance, he asked if joining the new company without formal clearance from his present employer would jeopardize his career during background checks. He expressed concern about being considered absconded and the potential negative impact on his professional record.
Online discussions largely advised against joining the new company while still on the payroll, emphasizing the risks of overlapped experience letters and issues with Provident Fund records. The consensus among users was to either convince the new employer to extend the joining date or find a way to negotiate an early release from the current role.
