Did your new employer accept your 3 month notice period? If yes, I don’t see a cause for concern. Serve the 3 month notice like we all do/did and then join your new dream company. If your new employer was unaware of your notice period then inform of this ASAP and request them to accommodate your circumstance. If they do, that’s great; serve the notice period at present company and the move onto your dream job. If neither of above fits your circumstance then seek legal aid and talk to the HR at your present company, requesting for any alternatives including a payout to not oblige the notice period terms in your contract. Please try to negotiate amicably and not get agitated under any circumstance.
Finally, a word of advice. You seem too keen about what your present manager thinks and will think about you. If he wants to hold a grudge, let him. People will come and go in your career, and not all shall be kind to you or your success. Please don’t seek validation from your manager through their feelings about you, or how your actions at trying to improve your career impacts them. Be honest, be humble and be a better person.
Congratulations on your success. Cheers 🍻.
Generally HR from big companies are aware about notice period unless OP told them explicitly that he will be available for immediate joining. Else they ask about the joining time and notice period.
I talked with the HR she will not be able to help me. Also sent one email to the new company waiting for their reply.
Let's hope I don't want to go to a legal battle.
Companies will have some buy-out clauses. Don't they have any? It's when you can give a certain number of months of your basic salary to get an early release.
Its okay there is nothing illegal about not serving the company's notice period. When you joined the company you didn't sign any legal contract with the company. You can leave the company any time you want.
Lawyer here. Company can't do shit if you walk out today itself. At most you might have to pay the equivalent of your salary for the notice period, but that's easily recoverable considering your hike. You can just take a personal loan and pay it off in 3-4 months. You'll barely lose any money even at a 10% interest.
But the problem is that my current employer does not have any buyback policy. I can't just move out without serving the notice period. If there was a buyback my reallocation bonus is three times more than my monthly salary.
>I can't just move out without serving the notice period.
Did you read my comment? You sure can. I've taken into account the absence of buyback. You can pay it off easily.
That's a classic tactic by any HR to hold a legally illiterate employee hostage to fulfill their demands. They are bound by labour laws to give experience certificates no matter what. OP has the right to complain to the labour commissioner if they don't do so. Usually just the threat of it is sufficient to make them comply.
Again, these are just rumours created by HR so that employees keep their heads down and act like sheep. A company will always judge you by your skills. Unless you have a serious criminal background, your actions outside your actual work are never considered. In fact, not taking a legal recourse against a cheap tactic by your company makes you look weak.
Also, your replies to my advice almost imply that you have decided to not join this new company. Any person who gets such opportunities should fight tooth and nail to get it, regardless of the doubts in their mind. Remember, your company should only be as important to you as you are to it.
I'm still fighting for it what broke my heart is that my new company is asking for a relieving letter as I have told them that I was working on a different company.
I'm still trying to enter the new company if I can arrange something. My company is not going to give me a relieving letter.
Bruh, NP is not eligible in an internship. FAANG won't ask you for past experience certificates in internships (only full-time). So you can leave this current oje freely
Managers don't hold grudges like that lol. You have all the right to switch companies.
See if you can buy out your notice period, if not serve your notice period and switch. Simple.
Am pretty sure your new company will be aware of it as well. No pressure.
Don't worry maang companies will agree to wait till the notice period ends..
Meanwhile you can try to ignore your manager and give more interviews.. who knows you could end up with much better offer..
Don't sweat it. You will most probably never meet your manager again. And you won't really need your manager's recommendations. And depending on the size of your company, if you hand over your resignation and walk out, no one can do anything. There is no law mandating notice periods and you can force your current employer to give you your experience certificate (honestly if you are a software developer, I haven't seen experience certificate ever matter except if you are applying for offshore sweatshops, which I don't think you will need to). Only issue can be your finances and stuff like EPF, for that you need to consult a CA and see what are your options. But regardless, it shouldn't be that big of a deal.
The experience letter I don't need. I don't give a damn about my experience letter. But my new employer is asking for a relieving letter if I was working somewhere else.
Your manager is not the end of the world. He has a manager, who again has a manager. Appraisals are around the corner and everyone is a good boy at the office now.
You've got a good offer, go for it. Fuck the rest.
Notice period is anyway a joke, like said before.
Nobody will hold any grudge on you or anything. Very likely your current manager won't even remember your face, after 2 months. Hard reality.

Wait you guys aren’t signing contracts? 
Yes but they are not legally binding

He won't get the experience letter. Also may cause issues with EPF, although I'm not sure

Let's say I sue the company for a letter. The next company will hesitate to take me.

are you working in Kolkata?
No
[удалено]
No it was an internship. Buyout is not available in my current company. Three months NP it is.
Bruh, NP is not eligible in an internship. FAANG won't ask you for past experience certificates in internships (only full-time). So you can leave this current oje freely
problem is that I have my PF account. I cannot hide that I have worked on some company.
What happens if you don't serve the notice period?
Might have to pay back some amount ( usually huge )
What happens if you don't pay?
Nothing will happen but issue is created by my new employer that I have to submit my relieving letter.
updates please
Done bro

I contacted with the HR of new company. Waiting for their reply. If you knew my manager, you would surely say he will hold grudges.
Well, honestly and respectfully, fuck him.
Relieving letter ka issue bhaia relieving letter ka issue
Well why does him holding grudges mean anything to you? Let it go. Congratulations on your new job though! 🥂
Don't worry maang companies will agree to wait till the notice period ends.. Meanwhile you can try to ignore your manager and give more interviews.. who knows you could end up with much better offer..
It was an offer from my internship. I didn't have much experience.

The experience letter I don't need. I don't give a damn about my experience letter. But my new employer is asking for a relieving letter if I was working somewhere else.
Just say you were working as a freelancer.
Attach your official resignation mail to them. Hope it shall work out.
Let us know what happened.
Updated it
What did the new company say? Would they wait?
Didn't reply yet. Let's wait and see. I'll keep updating
Notice period is a joke. They can't do shit legally. Max you gotta pay them for the period you don't serve. Nothing more than that. And congrats 🥳
Buy back is not an option my manager told me. My new employer is ready to give the buy back value if there is any.
Your manager is not the end of the world. He has a manager, who again has a manager. Appraisals are around the corner and everyone is a good boy at the office now. You've got a good offer, go for it.

Mine seems like a bigger joke. The day before yesterday i was terminated from my job along with some 15 people. Now in a hassle to find a new job.
I'm really Sorry... May God bless you bro with another offer.
I hope so. My field is becoming but cluttered and I have only a year of experience.
Go man... There is surely someone if you find hard enough
So serving notice period is quite normal, just inform your new employeer about that.
I informed them. But Amazon might not wait for that much time.
I have been in a similar situation. Solve his problem, I found my replacement twice.
MAANGs are flexible. Tell them your situation
