Please share expert advice. It’s very important for me now
I have joined TCS in 2021 at 4.5 years of experience at 12 lakh. Now I’m at 14 lakh. I am working in legacy system mainframe. I want to change the company but due to 90 days it’s very difficult. Last year I almost received an offer letter but didn’t get due to notice period. I’m thinking to resign after getting letter and then search fo new job. Your valuable thoughts pls

Better to get an offer and leave otherwise as per market you will be under paid, same situation for me as well 7 years of experience still waiting for promotion

Why you want to leave? 4.5 yoe 14 lakh is above market standard for mainframe resource

Read properly in 2021 he joined for 12 lakh at 4.5 years of experience...no it was 2026 and his experience might me around 8.5 + and he is earning 14 LPA. So the pay is below the market standards
@SEGUY - Genuine suggestion, first do one thing - Take a certification course related to your field, uwill get voucher in tcs easily.
The objective is not to get certificate but rather to refresh or learn any new developments in your field.
After that, put in papers. You have 3 months time. These 3 months don't work much. Just join calls late, make excuses, or something. Yes, it's going to be difficult but the manager/client can't do anything, as you aren't refusing to work, but rather doing work slowly or half heartedly, the purpose here is to seeeze more time for job searches, resume updates, and revision of your leanings, apply for as many companies as you can only 50% or less will contact you. Which is fine. Fail 80% of them, but learn what they want, or which skill they are looking for.
By the time you reach your last month notice period, here at this point apply for you dream companies with notice period stated as less than four weeks.
By this time, u r more confident, more likely to get selected and if u were a bit lucky u would already have some offer from the unknown companies you applied previously.
Also, i beleive it's not anything wrong to not do full work and put in full hours during notice period. U r still working, but for your service which you have dedicatedly given to clients and company, they should be okay with you not doing work 9 hours during your last 3 months.
Managers can be pain in the a*s. But you know, once you stop indulging then they lose their power, they will also stop bothering you as they know u r about to leave but he/she has to be in company and gave their employees later.
Btw I did this in my last company, and it worked out well cuz I had great relationship with my manager.

As the market is not that much good, better get an offer and then resign..

Now I’m at 9.5 years of total exp at 14
