How to tackle 90 days notice period ? Help me

Q4 has just begun. A lot of companies will start capacity planning for next yr. In a couple of weeks, everyone should be ready to hire for Q1 (Jan 2026)

Resign in November if you're really planning on resigning before a job offer. Opportunities should open up post Diwali/festivities.

Ik it doesn't address your issue directly, but keep this in mind.

Also, given the environment, a lot of companies might be cutting next yr tbh.

What's your YoE? What role are you in? Salary if you wanna share. Imo tech stack doesn't matter but let us know anyway.

PS, I can't refer to Zomato. Please don't waste your DMs on it. Thx..

In today's market you should be skilled first, then only you can excel. Don't resign without offers in hand. It may backfire if you resign and the new employer also revokes the offer letter due to pipelines of candidates.

I got 2 rules for tackling the notice period issue.

1. You need to have trust in your skills and faith in God. If you feel your skills are not up to the mark. Then Study.
2. Then comes the finance. If you don't have financial responsibility like no loans or family expenses. Then check the current market, if job openings are available, then don't think twice to resign without offers. Just resign.

Check boxes to tick before resigning without offers.

1. Check the current market and see if there are good job openings. If you are getting 6-7 calls in a week. It is a good sign.
2. Appear for a few interviews to check your readiness. If your interviews are going well, Then you are good to resign without offers.
3. The main point comes finance. No loans and no family responsibility related to money. If yes, you are good to resign without offers.
4. As much as you have trust in your skills, you need to have faith in god too. Luck definitely matters.

Steps to get an interview with 90 days NP:
main requirement : Lying skills.

1. After checking the market conditions, your interview skills and resigning without offer, tweak your naukri profile stating you are already on the notice period and you have 10 days for your last working day. This is important. HR are really interested in the candidates who have their LWD in the next 10-15 days. This number changes as per market conditions. I.e demand vs supply.
2. Once you receive calls from HR, tell them you have already resigned 2.5 months ago and your LWD is x days like 10days from now. Only 2 out of 10 HRs ask for proof. You still have an 80% chance for HRs not asking for proof.
3. Once an interview is scheduled, clear the technical rounds and get 1-2 offer letters. This boosts your confidence. Once you have offer letters in hand, apologise to the HR that you lied and state your actual LWD. See if they are okay to wait. If HR is not willing, then continue the same process with informing your actual LWD before them releasing the offer letter. Because let's be emphatic to them, they work a lot for processing each candidate. Our desperation should not disappoint them.
4. Once your last working gets nearer, HRs will be happy to wait. Just share the proof of LWD to gain their confidence as you lied in the beginning.

Trust me, this is my experience which I am sharing. So do your due diligence and prepare. All the best for your future!!

The most overrated statement in IT is "Don't resign without offer". So don't worry about 90 days. Just go ahead and resign.

One of my friends lied about his notice period being 45 days and got selected and later during the 30th day told HR that notice had been extended to 90 days.. he already haggled with 3 different companies who were ready to accept him and got better offer but guess what.. they really wanted him as they can't afford to reinvest on interviewing new candidates. Respecting their decision he joined without any harm. He had a 25LPA offer and other company offered him 30LPA.

Apply to companies and get offer from companies who themselves have 90 days notice period, resign from your company and keep applying

Also if your manager is supportive, you can get buyback

I was in a similar situation 2 years back in TCS , TCS was my first company, stuck in a support role eventually i resigned without offer, lied in CV that I work in a development project, 1.5 months went silent, after that started getting calls , got rejected in many as I didn't have real experience in development
But after 2 months cracked 1 company, they offered me but asked me to join within 2 weeks but 1 month was left in my NP so they rejected me, then cracked two more offers in the last week of notice period
now after 2 years i made 1 more switch and now my salary is 3x of salary in TCS my 3 friends from my project did the same and some of them got offers during their NP while some got after 1-2 months after completing NP and that too in different roles, some got into development, some into devops, some are at really crazy packages like 30-40LPA so dont lose hope just save some money, increase your risk appetite and do it

Oh oh oh ........ Just chill even if you are on the bench and worried about your next job then try to crack the interview first then discuss with HR if your interview gone well then they will consider for 90 days too and second thing even if your facing struggle then go for product based company accept one offer then on that basis try for service based company also judge you knowledge as well as per market requirement first then accordingly take decision and best of luck

Apply in product based companies through their portal

If you have the option to withdraw your resignation even on the last working day then try to take the risk and do resignation and apply for the jobs even if you didn't get the job you can revoke the resignation right
